Job Overview:

We are seeking a MongoDB Subject Matter Expert (SME) specializing in data migration to lead the planning, design, and execution of large-scale data migration projects. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in migrating complex datasets from legacy systems to MongoDB and be adept at ensuring data integrity, security, and performance throughout the process.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the end-to-end data migration process from legacy databases (SQL, NoSQL, or flat files) to MongoDB.
  • Design and implement data migration strategies that ensure data integrity, consistency, and minimal downtime.
  • Analyze source data, map data models, and transform data to fit MongoDB document structures.
  • Develop and optimize ETL pipelines using tools like Apache NiFi, Talend, or custom Python scripts.
  • Collaborate with application teams, DBAs, and architects to understand requirements and ensure smooth transitions.
  • Write scripts and utilities for data transformation, validation, and clean-up using Python, JavaScript, or shell scripting.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve data quality issues, performance bottlenecks, and technical roadblocks.
  • Provide expert-level MongoDB support including schema design, indexing, aggregation, and replication/sharding strategies.
  • Document migration plans, test cases, data models, and post-migration validation results.

Required Skills:

  • 7+ years of experience in database management and data migration.
  • 3+ years of hands-on expertise with MongoDB, including performance tuning, schema design, and data modeling.
  • Strong experience in ETL processes, data mapping, and transformation logic.
  • Proficient in Python, Bash, or similar scripting languages.
  • Solid understanding of JSON, BSON, and document-oriented database structures.
  • Familiarity with legacy database platforms like Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, or PostgreSQL.
  • Experience with data validation, error handling, and rollback mechanisms.
  • Knowledge of MongoDB Atlas, MongoDB Ops Manager, or similar platforms is a plus.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • MongoDB Certified DBA or Developer.
  • Experience in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform) and cloud-based migration.
  • Familiarity with containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes).
