- Assist with converting legacy Informatica mappings, SQL, and stored procedures into Databricks processing, and support migration of inbound/outbound HR integrations (including Oracle HCM feeds).
- Implement source-to-target mappings and transformation specs, and help build logical/physical, dimensional, and analytics-ready models for HR data domains under senior direction.
- Perform data profiling, unit testing, and defect resolution; build data-quality and reconciliation checks and compare legacy vs. target-state outputs during parallel runs.
- Produce clear technical documentation – mappings, data dictionaries, test cases, runbooks, and deployment instructions – following established naming, repository, and version-control standards.
- Follow MetLife requirements for handling sensitive HR data, applying approved access-control, classification, and governance practices via Unity Catalog and related tooling.
- Participate in agile ceremonies, incorporate code-review feedback, escalate unclear requirements and risks to the Senior Data Engineer, and provide overlap with U.S. Eastern Time.

### AI-assisted engineering
- Willingness to use AI/Copilot tooling to accelerate development, testing, and documentation.
- Curious, detail-oriented, and coachable – able to follow technical direction, apply code-review feedback, and produce accurate, well-tested, well-documented work.
- Strong written and verbal communication, comfortable raising questions and blockers clearly within a distributed agile delivery team.

### Preferred Qualifications
- Suggested 1–2 years exposure to data migration or ETL modernization (e.g., Informatica-to-Databricks) and building pipelines within a team environment.

### Azure ecosystem
