Implement deduplication logic across multiple Jira repositories to identify duplicate issues, users, components, labels, and related metadata.
Support data mapping from source Jira schemas into the target Jira configuration.
Load cleansed and validated data into a staging Jira repository and support final migration into the target Jira instance.
Archive source repository data into Snowflake using structured, queryable data models.
Build reusable ETL scripts, jobs, and data quality checks.
Collaborate with data analysts, QA testers, Jira administrators, and customer stakeholders.
Document ETL logic, transformation rules, exception handling, reconciliation results, and load procedures.
