## Description

**Key Responsibilities**

**Architecture & Design**

-   Architect end-to-end data integration solutions using Talend Data Integration, Talend Cloud, Talend Big Data, and related components
-   Design ETL/ELT frameworks, data ingestion pipelines, workflow orchestration, and reusable Talend components
-   Define architecture blueprints, HLD/LLD documentation, and integration patterns
-   Lead modernization efforts including migration from legacy ETL tools to Talend
-   Justify and recommend system sizing — hardware, memory, compute, cluster configurations — based on data volumes, throughput requirements, and SLA expectations

**Development & Technical Leadership**

-   Strong hands-on development background with ability to build, review, and optimize complex Talend jobs across batch, real-time, and streaming workloads
-   Build and optimize ETL/ELT pipelines integrating diverse data sources — databases, APIs, flat files, cloud platforms, and streaming systems
-   Design and implement data integration via REST/SOAP APIs, HTTP connectors, and data services routes within Talend
-   Implement complex transformations, data quality rules, profiling, cleansing, deduplication, metadata management, and lineage
-   Leverage Talend Big Data components to process large-scale datasets on Hadoop, Spark, or cloud-native big data platforms
-   Work across relational databases (Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL) and cloud storage solutions
-   Provide hands-on guidance to development teams on Talend jobs, best practices, error handling, logging, and scalability
-   Conduct architecture reviews, performance tuning, and optimization of Talend workloads

**Streaming & Real-Time Integration**

-   Design and implement real-time and near-real-time data pipelines using Talend with Kafka, Spark Streaming, or equivalent streaming frameworks
-   Architect event-driven integration patterns for high-throughput, low-latency data flows
-   Monitor and tune streaming pipelines for performance, fault tolerance, and reliability

**Data Quality & Governance**

-   Define and enforce data quality frameworks — profiling, validation rules, anomaly detection, and exception handling — within Talend pipelines
-   Ensure alignment with enterprise data governance, security, compliance, and data lineage requirements

**Operations & DevOps**

-   Oversee deployment, scheduling, monitoring, and maintenance of Talend jobs
-   Collaborate with DevOps teams to design CI/CD pipelines for Talend solutions
-   Troubleshoot production issues and ensure high availability and reliability of ETL workflows

## Requirements

**Required Skills & Experience**

-   10+ years of overall data integration/ETL experience, with at least 4–5 years as a Talend architect or senior developer
-   Strong hands-on development expertise in Talend Data Integration, Talend Cloud, Talend Big Data, and Talend Administration Center — must be able to build, not just design
-   Proven experience designing HLD/LLD and integration architecture patterns
-   Demonstrated ability to size and justify infrastructure and platform configurations based on workload profiling and capacity planning
-   Hands-on experience with streaming technologies — Kafka, Spark Streaming, or equivalent — integrated within Talend pipelines
-   Experience designing and consuming REST/SOAP APIs, HTTP-based connectors, and Talend Data Services for service-oriented integration patterns
-   Strong expertise in data quality implementation — profiling, cleansing, validation, deduplication, and exception management within Talend
-   Proficiency with Talend Big Data components and processing at scale on Hadoop, Spark, or cloud-native equivalents
-   Experience with legacy ETL migration projects (Informatica, DataStage, SSIS to Talend preferred)
-   Proficiency with relational databases (Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL) and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
-   Knowledge of CI/CD practices, Git-based version control, and DevOps tooling (Jenkins, GitLab CI, etc.)
-   Understanding of data governance frameworks, metadata management, and lineage concepts

**Good to Have**

-   Talend certification (Architect or Developer level)
-   Exposure to cloud-native data platforms (Databricks, Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery)
-   Familiarity with enterprise data cataloguing and governance platforms (Collibra, Alation, etc.)
-   Experience with containerised deployments (Docker, Kubernetes) for Talend workloads
