Brief Description

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Subject Matter Expert (SME) with strong expertise in Netezza to Oracle database migration. The ideal candidate will bring a blend of technical depth, hands-on migration experience, and strategic oversight to ensure seamless, secure, and optimized transitions from legacy Netezza platforms to modern Oracle environments (on-prem, Exadata, or Oracle Cloud Infrastructure).


Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and manage end-to-end migration projects from Netezza to Oracle, including assessment, planning, execution, validation, and optimization.

  • Analyze existing Netezza environments (schemas, data, stored procedures, ETL jobs) and design corresponding Oracle-compatible structures.

  • Oversee schema conversion, data type mapping, and SQL/PLSQL refactoring, ensuring functional equivalence and performance.

  • Implement data migration strategies (connected/disconnected modes, incremental loads, delta strategies) for large-scale databases.

  • Automate migration workflows using ETL/ELT tools (Oracle Data Integrator, Informatica, DataStage) and scripting languages (Python, UNIX shell).

  • Ensure data quality and integrity via robust validation and reconciliation processes.

  • Optimize post-migration Oracle database performance, leveraging features like partitioning, indexing, and Exadata enhancements.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (DBAs, architects, data engineers, and business stakeholders) to align migration with business goals.

  • Provide documentation, training, and knowledge transfer for smooth post-migration operations.

  • Ensure compliance with security, governance, and industry best practices during migration.

Preferred Skills

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in database administration, engineering, or migrations.

  • 3–5 years of direct experience with Netezza and Oracle environments.

  • In-depth knowledge of Netezza architecture (AMPP, NZSQL, NZLOAD, distribution strategies) and Oracle databases (12c, 19c, Exadata, Autonomous Data Warehouse, OCI).

  • Proven track record of handling large-scale migrations (hundreds of terabytes, thousands of database objects).

  • Strong SQL and PL/SQL expertise, with ability to convert and optimize complex queries and stored procedures.

  • Proficiency with ETL/ELT tools (ODI, Informatica, DataStage) and migration utilities (Oracle SQL Developer, Data Sync, STAR*M, X2XConverter).

  • Experience in scripting/automation (UNIX shell, Python).

  • Solid knowledge of data validation, testing frameworks, and performance tuning.

  • Familiarity with cloud migration strategies (OCI, FastConnect, Object Storage) and hybrid data architectures (Data Lakes, Data Mesh).

  • Strong problem-solving, impact analysis, and project management skills.

  • Excellent communication and documentation abilities for cross-team collaboration.


Desirable Certifications

  • Oracle Certified Professional (OCP)—Oracle Database / Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Architect / Oracle Autonomous Database Specialist.

  • IBM Certified Specialist – Netezza (or equivalent).

  • Certifications in ETL/cloud tools (e.g., Informatica, ODI, AWS/Azure Data Engineer).


Preferred Industry Experience

  • Banking, Financial Services, Insurance (BFSI), Retail, or other data-intensive domains.

  • Prior work on migrations with mission-critical, high-availability systems.
