Job Description

Position Overview

The Data Quality Developer will play a hands-on technical role in implementing and maintaining data quality controls, monitoring frameworks, and integration solutions across our enterprise MDM ecosystem. This position requires a strong technical background combined with excellent communication skills to work effectively with business stakeholders across the globe.

Working closely with the Data Governance Council Lead, this role will be responsible for configuring data quality platforms, implementing validation rules and workflows, developing dashboards and reports, and remediating data quality incidents across customer, supplier, contact, and item domains.

Two Data Quality Developers will be hired - one focused primarily on the Ataccama platform (configuration, rules, profiling, monitoring) and the other focused on data quality operations outside of Ataccama (cross-system reconciliation, integrations, dashboards, remediation). Both developers serve as each other's backup and are expected to be cross-trained across all responsibilities.
