IBM Datastage Developer with Netezza and AWS

Description

Our client is currently working on building a new data analytics platform utilizing the Amazon Web Services platform. As with any project, the effort will involve multiple phases. An initial phase of the project will require the migration of backend data storage from an onpremise database to a cloud database. For this phase of the project, our client needs to incrementally expand their DataStage resources in order to repoint the current data flows to the new database. The IBM DataStage consultant(s) will focus primarily on reviewing & understanding the current DataStage code that loads the current onpremise data warehouse environment and working to update that code to load the same datasets to the new database environment within AWS. The consultant will be responsible for modifying, testing, and validating DataStage jobs to accommodate for changes in database technologies, including potential differences in data types, database organization, load sequence, and performance. May also involve recoding SQL within jobs that were optimized for the onpremise database. The consultant will be responsible for executing and documenting the system tests to validate the conversion effort. Responsibilities also include managing to an assigned queue of work within JIRA and creating documentation highlighting the updates to the DataStage jobs that were put in place as a part of the conversion.
