About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Lead script-level repointing across 593 downstream scripts (PySpark, BTEQ, Shell, SQL, IICS, SSIS) and 154 Databricks MLOps scripts from Teradata/SQL Server/Minio to Snowflake.
  • Execute SQL syntax conversion for Teradata BTEQ scripts to Snowflake-compatible SQL, leveraging utility frameworks provided by the SI Partner (Infosys).
  • Drive Airflow variable and connection updates across all migrated workflows, ensuring pipelines point to Snowflake endpoints post-cutover.
  • Manage the script modification and change management process, coordinating production-to-parallel sync within the required 1-business-day SLA.
  • Own the deployment and sign-off process for each migration wave, maintaining runbooks and go/no-go checklists per domain group.
  • Manage data copy requests for Minio-related assets and coordinate initial load and incremental sync activities with the SI Partner.
  • Lead and coordinate a team of 6–8 Data Engineer I and Data Engineer II resources (onshore and offshore) across parallel migration workstreams.
  • Assign scripts per complexity band (S/M/L) to team members, track daily progress against the LOE estimates, and escalate blockers promptly.
  • Review code changes, validate SQL conversion quality, and enforce engineering standards before submission to EBI team for review.
  • Mentor junior engineers on Snowflake-specific constructs (virtual warehouses, stages, Snowpark, streams & tasks) and Teradata-to-Snowflake syntax differences.
  • Conduct daily stand-ups and provide weekly migration status reports to the Program Manager and client stakeholders.
  • Own the parallel run and reconciliation cycle — execute data validation against Teradata source and Snowflake target, targeting sign-off within 2–3 reconciliation iterations per workflow.
  • Drive automation of unit testing and validation frameworks in collaboration with the SI Partner, tracking outcomes in the centralized validation dashboard.
  • Triage and root-cause data mismatches, performance gaps, and pipeline failures during the parallel run phase; coordinate resolution with SI Partner support as needed.
  • Ensure UAT sign-off from the EBI Data team on each domain group before scheduling production cutover.
  • Conduct performance and load testing on migrated Snowflake workloads; incorporate SI Partner guidance on query optimization and warehouse sizing.
  • Serve as the EXL technical point of contact with the EBI client team for the repointing workstream — attending daily syncs, steering calls, and design reviews.
  • Coordinate with Infosys (SI Partner) on alignment of major SQL conversion utilities prior to team execution, ensuring conversion frameworks are available at program kick-off.
  • Translate migration risks and data reconciliation issues into clear business-impact language for non-technical stakeholders.
  • Maintain shared documentation: migration decision log, runbooks, issue trackers, and lessons learned repository.

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • 8+ years of data engineering experience; minimum 3 years hands-on with Snowflake (architecture, SQL dialect, performance tuning, RBAC).
  • Proven experience migrating Teradata workloads to Snowflake — including BTEQ/ANSI SQL translation, macro conversion, and stored procedure migration.
  • Strong PySpark and Python skills; experience working with Databricks is required (MLOps pipelines a strong plus).
  • Working knowledge of Apache Airflow — DAG management, variable configuration, connection updates across environments.
  • Familiarity with IICS (Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services) and/or SSIS (.dtsx) pipelines in a migration context.
  • Solid understanding of data lake and object store patterns (Minio, S3, ADLS) and how they integrate with Snowflake external stages.
  • Experience with SQL Server, Teradata, and/or Netezza as source platforms is required.
  • Strong Git proficiency; experience with CI/CD pipelines and code change coordination across environments (dev → parallel → prod).
  • Proven experience leading a team of 5+ engineers in a fast-paced, time-bound migration or repointing program.
  • Ability to manage scope across complexity bands (S/M/L scripts) and balance team capacity against tight delivery timelines.
  • Strong stakeholder management — able to communicate migration status, risks, and escalation paths clearly to both technical and business audiences.
  • Experience working in a client-facing consulting or managed services model is strongly preferred.
  • Comfortable coordinating with an SI Partner — understanding scope boundaries, handoff points, and utility dependencies without micromanaging.
