Description
Description of Task to be Performed:
AnaVation is seeking an experienced ETL/Data Migration Engineer (Senior) to join our growing Huntsville, Alabama-based work program. The selected candidate will lead high complexity extract, transform, and load (ETL) operations supporting a major federal modernization program. This role is responsible for architecting, operating, validating, and optimizing data migration pipelines that move high volume, multi-source datasets from legacy environments into modern cloud platforms. The engineer serves as a senior technical contributor within the Migration Workstream, ensuring data quality, performance, and reliability throughout large scale migration cycles.
Specific duties and responsibilities include:
- Design, develop, optimize, and maintain scalable ETL/ELT pipelines supporting petabyte scale data migration.
- Build extraction and transformation logic for structured and unstructured datasets.
- Engineer automated workflows for performance, throughput, error handling, and resiliency.
- Align pipeline architecture with cloud landing zone requirements and modernization standards.
- Lead operational execution of ETL tasks during migration cycles, ensuring correct sequencing and validation.
- Troubleshoot pipeline failures, resolve data anomalies, and coordinate with engineering teams to stabilize operations.
- Conduct readiness testing and verify integration points between legacy systems and cloud targets.
- Perform detailed data quality checks, completeness assessments, and validation of migrated data.
- Lead root cause analysis for data defects and support corrective actions across the migration workflow.
- Document recurring issues, improve detection processes, and help define quality benchmarks.
- Partner with Cloud Engineers, Data Engineers, DevSecOps teams, DBAs, QA/Test Engineers, and Product Owners.
- Ensure ETL pipelines integrate seamlessly with cloud architectures, data models, monitoring tools, and downstream systems.
- Participate in sprint ceremonies, technical reviews, and migration planning activities.
- Create/maintain ETL documentation including data maps, flow diagrams, transformation logic, SOPs, and error logs.
- Provide pipeline performance updates, migration status reports, and data quality metrics to leadership.
- Support development of reusable processes and technical artifacts supporting repeatable migration operations.
