As a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) for Data Migration & Data Consolidation Platforms, you will serve as the hands-on technical lead driving enterprise-scale data transformation engagements. You will own the end-to-end execution of complex data migrations, multi-system consolidations, and platform modernization initiatives for Global Enterprises and Industry Leaders navigating critical technology inflection points. Operating at the convergence of cloud architecture, data engineering, and direct client partnership, you will translate the capabilities embedded in our migration acceleration platform into production-grade, client-specific solutions.

This role demands deep proficiency across legacy enterprise systems such as SAP ECC, Oracle on-premise, modern cloud data platforms, and AI-driven transformation tooling. You will function as both solution architect and hands-on implementer - owning migration strategy design, building automated data pipelines, and deploying ontology-driven integration frameworks that unify fragmented application landscapes into cohesive, consolidated business data models.

• Migration Execution & Cloud Architecture: Lead end-to-end delivery of enterprise data migrations from corporate systems (SAP, Oracle, Epic ERP) to target cloud data platforms, including the design of cloud landing zones, data governance frameworks, and system rationalization strategies. Establish migration compliance controls, automated rollback procedures, and operational readiness gates while owning full technical accountability for 12–18+ month migration roadmaps.
• Data Pipeline Engineering & Transformation: Build production-grade data connectors to SAP (RFC, IDoc, BAPI, OData), Oracle (AQ, Golden Gate, APIs), and SQL/non-relational sources. Develop ETL/ELT pipelines with LLM-enabled transformation logic, multi-layer validation and reconciliation frameworks, and optimized throughput for datasets scaling from tens of millions to billions of records with built-in CDC and incremental loading.
• Ontology Layer Development & Schema Automation: Construct semantic ontology layers translating raw ERP structures into business-consumable objects (Customer, Order, Invoice, Product, Vendor, Asset). Deploy automated schema mapping agents for source-to-target analysis and transformation logic generation. Build unified master data models with row/column-level security, cross-system lineage tracking, and AI-ready semantic structures.
• Application & Workflow Delivery: Build operational dashboards, migration control centers, and agent-driven workflows for automated validation, exception handling, and anomaly detection using low-code platform tools. Generate Type Script/Python SDKs for custom integrations and deliver real-time monitoring and self-service interfaces for migration progress, data quality KPIs, and compliance tracking.
• Multi-System Consolidation & Master Data Management: Lead consolidation of 5–15+ fragmented ERP instances into standardized master data models. Resolve complex entity resolution challenges including customer matching, product harmonization, and chart of accounts unification. Establish golden record frameworks, data quality scorecards, survivorship rules, and data stewardship workflows for post-migration governance.
• Client Engagement, Discovery & Modernization Advisory: Serve as primary technical advisor to C-suite and enterprise architecture stakeholders across all engagement phases. Deploy discovery agents to analyze legacy data estates, conduct assessment workshops, facilitate solution design sessions, and deliver executive briefings, go/no-go readiness assessments, and prioritized modernization roadmaps.
• Knowledge Transfer, Enablement & IP Development: Build reusable migration accelerators, playbooks, and reference architectures that scale across engagements. Lead knowledge transfer to upskill client teams for post-migration ownership and collaborate with internal product and sales engineering teams to feed field insights back into…
