IBM InfoSphere DataStage

About the job

Step into a role where your ETL expertise directly powers trusted, analytics-ready data for critical business decisions. As a Senior Systems Engineer focused on IBM InfoSphere DataStage, you’ll work alongside data engineers, analysts, and platform teams to design and deliver reliable data pipelines that are secure, scalable, and easy to operate. You’ll help transform raw, complex datasets into well-structured outputs by building high-quality jobs, optimizing performance, and ensuring smooth production runs. If you enjoy solving data movement challenges, improving runtime efficiency, and collaborating in a delivery-focused environment, this role offers the right mix of ownership and teamwork. You’ll also have opportunities to strengthen best practices around SQL, scheduling, monitoring, and documentation—making data operations more predictable and impactful for everyone involved.
