Cloudera Data Consultant / Data Engineer (Migration Specialist)

• 1 year and extendable contract role
• Location: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Fully work on-site)

Role Purpose: As a member of the Migration Team, you will execute the technical movement and transformation of legacy data from IBM Netezza and (Cloudera/Talend) to a modernized CDP Private Cloud Base environment. Your focus is on re-engineering ETL logic into Spark and ensuring data integrity across the Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers.

Business & Operational Responsibilities

• Legacy Workload Modernization: Execute the migration of Netezza tables and legacy Cloudera tables to the new EDM platform.
• ETL Transformation: Implement the migration and optimization of rationalized DataStage jobs into a Spark-native framework.
• Regulatory Compliance: Develop pipelines that specifically enable BNM Project STREAM reporting, ensuring that all data elements are conformed to the Common Data Model.
• Quality & Reconciliation: Perform source-to-target data parity checks, including hash totals and row count validations, to maintain 100% data integrity.
• Operational Readiness: Support 90-day parallel runs and hypercare activities to ensure zero disruption to daily business operations during cutover.

Technical Requirements

A. Data Engineering & Migration Execution

• Spark on YARN: Build and optimize high-throughput ETL/ELT pipelines using Spark 3, moving away from legacy RDBMS-based processing.
• Table Format Implementation: Modernize legacy table structures into Apache Iceberg to support ACID-style consistency, time travel, and row-level updates.
• Automated Conversion: Utilize LLM-based accelerators to parse DSX files, mapping legacy operators to equivalent Spark tasks.
• High-Performance Serving: Migrate critical data marts into Apache Kudu native tables to provide low-latency analytics for QlikSense and SAS consumers

B. Ingestion & Orchestration

• NiFi Data Flow: Configure Apache NiFi flows to land data in the Lakehouse landing zone first, eliminating uncontrolled point-to-point feeds.
• Airflow Orchestration: Refactor ZENA workflows and shell scripts into Airflow DAGs, establishing clear dependency management and SLA visibility.
• CDC Integration: Implement Change Data Capture (CDC) logic to ensure incremental data loads are synchronized across the modernized platform.

C. Governance & Quality Control

• Data Quality (DQ) Gates: Implement Great Expectations (GX) validation checks (completeness, null rates, distribution checks) at both ingestion and transformation stages.
• Secure Implementation: Ensure all developed pipelines adhere to Apache Ranger RBAC/ABAC and Ranger KMS encryption standards.

Experience & Qualifications Professional Background

• Experience Level: Senior-level data engineering (minimum 3 years) experience, specifically in performing data engineering development using Nifi and Airflow. Experience in migrations from Netezza or legacy Cloudera/Hadoop environments is an added advantage.
