• Build and maintain ETL/ELT pipelines to ingest, cleanse, standardize, and sync master data between source systems and the central MDM/data warehouse.

• Publish master data back to source and downstream systems using APIs, reverse ETL, or event/CDC pipelines.

• Implement data quality monitoring and dashboards to track completeness, accuracy, and duplication metrics across master domains.

• Evaluate and administer MDM tooling (Informatica MDM, SAP MDG, Reltio, Semarchy) or extend an in-house framework on the existing data stack.

• Advanced entity resolution techniques covering deterministic and probabilistic/fuzzy matching alongside defining survivorship rules.

• Strong hands-on SQL skills and experience building ETL/ELT, reverse ETL, API, or CDC pipelines for bi-directional data flow.
