Ab initio Developer

Join a collaborative data engineering team where your work directly improves how businesses move, transform, and trust their data. In this role, you’ll help build and optimize reliable ETL pipelines using Ab Initio, partnering closely with analysts, engineers, and stakeholders to deliver high-quality data solutions. You’ll contribute to projects that value clean design, performance, and operational stability—while also getting opportunities to learn, share ideas, and continuously improve delivery practices. If you enjoy solving data movement challenges, working in a structured yet supportive environment, and taking ownership of end-to-end development—from design to deployment—this role offers the right balance of technical depth and teamwork. You’ll be encouraged to bring curiosity, strong engineering habits, and a mindset focused on quality and impact.

Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain ETL workflows using Ab Initio to support enterprise data integration needs.
• Build and enhance graphs in the Graphical Development Environment-GDE, ensuring readability, reusability, and performance.
• Implement data extraction, transformation, and load processes with strong focus on data quality, reconciliation, and error handling.
• Work with file systems and job execution on Co-Operating System, including scheduling, monitoring, and troubleshooting runs.
• Analyze source-to-target mappings and translate business/technical requirements into scalable ETL designs.
• Perform unit testing, integration testing support, and production validation for new and enhanced pipelines.
• Tune ETL jobs for performance by optimizing partitioning, sorting, joins, and resource usage.
• Investigate production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement preventive fixes with proper documentation.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure timely delivery, clear communication, and adherence to development standards.
• Maintain technical documentation for workflows, operational procedures, and support handovers.
