Location: Brazil (Remote)
Industry: MedTech / Reproductive Health Supply Chain
Project Type: Post-M&A data platform consolidation

The Project: Post-M&A Data Integration

You'll be joining a strategic data platform integration project to consolidate data from different acquired companies into one unified Azure-based data warehouse. They need to break down data silos and build a unified global data warehouse that gives leadership a single source of truth for operations, finance, and business performance across their global footprint.

The Mission:

- Integrate disparate data systems (NetSuite, SAP, Dynamics NAV, Business Central, Oracle) from multiple acquired companies
- Build a modern Azure data platform that scales globally
- Enable executive decision-making with unified financial and operational reporting
- Support PE investors and board with consolidated company performance data
- Prepare for Salesforce CRM migration by establishing clean, integrated data foundation

What You'll Do

Data Platform Development (50%)
Design and build Azure Data Factory pipelines to integrate data from multiple ERP systems (NetSuite, SAP, Dynamics NAV, Business Central)
Architect dimensional data models (star schema, fact/dimension tables) for consolidated financial and operational reporting
Build data transformation logic to harmonize data across 9 different company systems
Optimize Azure SQL Database and Azure Data Lake implementations for performance and cost
Implement data quality validation to ensure accuracy across source systems

Technical Leadership (30%)
Guide technical implementation with the Data Product Manager on architecture decisions
Establish data engineering standards for the new global platform
Debug and resolve production issues independently - you're the go-to technical expert
Document data flows, transformations, and business logic for the platform
Collaborate with cross-functional teams across different acquired companies and geographies

Multi-Source Data Integration (20%)
Extract data from legacy ERP systems - navigating different technical platforms (Oracle, Microsoft)
Build data mappings between different systems' schemas and business logic
Handle data consolidation challenges (duplicate customers, product matching, currency conversion, multi-entity hierarchies)
Validate data completeness and reconcile against source systems
Support stakeholder requirements for consolidated reporting needs

What You Need to Succeed

Core Requirements:

1. Azure Data Engineering Expertise (Non-Negotiable)
5+ years hands-on data engineering building production data pipelines
Expert-level Azure Data Factory experience - this is your primary tool (not nice-to-have, REQUIRED)
Strong Azure SQL Database and Azure Data Lake Storage experience
Advanced SQL skills - complex queries, joins, performance tuning, query optimization

2. Data Modeling & Warehousing
Dimensional modeling expertise - star schema, fact tables, dimension tables (you've built these in production)
Data warehouse design - understanding best practices for analytics and reporting
Experience with multi-source data integration - combining data from different systems

3. Problem-Solving & Independence
Debugging inherited/incomplete infrastructure - you can pick up someone else's code and fix it
Independent problem-solving - figure things out without constant hand-holding
Production support experience - troubleshooting live issues under pressure

4. Communication
English proficiency for stakeholder communication (US and EMEA teams)
Technical documentation skills - you write clear, helpful docs
Collaboration across teams - work with product, business stakeholders, and technical teams

Highly Valuable (Nice-to-Have):

1 - ERP Systems Experience
NetSuite, SAP, Dynamics NAV, or Business Central integration
Understanding of financial data models (chart of accounts, general ledger, P&L)
Multi-entity/multi-company ERP implementations

2 - Data Quality & MDM
Master Data Management (MDM) concepts - customer/product matching logic
Data deduplication and consolidation
Data quality validation frameworks

3 - Domain Knowledge
Healthcare or medical device industry experience
Understanding of regulatory/compliance requirements (HIPAA, medical data)
Supply chain or logistics data

4 - Additional Tools
Power BI for data visualization
Oracle database experience
Salesforce data integration

Why This Role?

High-Impact Project:
Lead a critical consolidation initiative for a company that just went through massive M&A
Direct impact on executive decision-making - board and PE investors rely on your data
Global scope - data spanning EMEA and USA operations
Visible results - you're building the foundation for the entire company's data strategy

Technical Challenge:
Complex integration problem - 9 different companies, multiple ERP systems, disparate data models
Modern Azure stack - work with current cloud technologies
Architecture opportunity - design decisions that impact the entire platform
Salesforce migration support - be part of CRM transformation

Career Growth:
Lead-level experience without pure management - technical leadership with hands-on work
M&A integration expertise - highly valuable and transferable skill
Healthcare domain knowledge - specialized industry experience
Azure expertise - deepen skills in high-demand cloud platform

Team & Environment:
Strategic role - you're guiding technical decisions, not just executing tasks
Collaborative team
International exposure - US and EMEA stakeholders

The Ideal Candidate

You're likely a great fit if you can say:

✅ "I've built production data pipelines in Azure Data Factory - it's my primary tool"
✅ "I have strong dimensional modeling experience - I've designed star schemas for analytics"
✅ "I've integrated data from multiple ERP or business systems before"
✅ "I'm comfortable debugging inherited code and fixing production issues independently"
✅ "I've worked on data consolidation or integration projects (bonus if post-M&A)"
✅ "I write advanced SQL and can optimize queries for performance"
✅ "I can work independently but collaborate well with product and business teams"

This might NOT be the right fit if: 

❌ You're looking for pure people management (this is technical leadership, not team management)
❌ You're uncomfortable with complex, messy data integration challenges
❌ You prefer greenfield projects over consolidating existing systems
❌ Azure Data Factory is not your strength (it's non-negotiable here)

Common Questions

"Is this a 'lead' role with people management?"
No - this is technical leadership, not people management. You'll guide architecture and implementation, mentor through code reviews, but you won't have direct reports. Think "Lead Developer" not "Development Manager."

"What happens after the end of the project?"
Based on success and company needs, there may be opportunities to extend for ongoing platform development, Salesforce integration work, or other Clients’ and CI&T projects.

"How much of this is ERP-specific vs. general data development?"
About 60% general Azure data development, 40% ERP/business system integration. You don't need to be an ERP expert, but understanding how to extract and model financial/operational data is important.

"What's the most challenging part of this project?"
Consolidating data from 9 different companies with different systems, business processes, and data quality standards - creating consistent, unified data models that serve global reporting needs.

"What level of English is required?"
You'll need to communicate clearly in written and verbal English - daily chat messages, video meetings with US/EMEA stakeholders, technical documentation. Doesn't need to be perfect, but professional communication is essential.
