This role involves bridging traditional on-premises relational databases with modern cloud infrastructure by owning the entire replication lifecycle. Key responsibilities include configuring end-to-end change data capture workflows, performing daily health checks on log readers and capture processes, and troubleshooting complex replication failures to meet strict SLAs. The engineer will manage schema evolution, implement automated reconciliation jobs, and execute software patches. Required expertise includes Oracle GoldenGate, IBM InfoSphere CDC, or Qlik Replicate. Candidates must possess deep knowledge of transaction logs from Oracle, SQL Server, or DB2, and experience streaming data into Snowflake, Google BigQuery, AWS Redshift, or Databricks using advanced SQL, Linux shell scripting, and PowerShell.
