Job description

Job Title: Data Sustain Lead – Customer Marketing Data Platform Location: Charlotte, NC (On-site) Employment Type: Contract (W2 through ZipStaff — No C2C or 1099) About the Opportunity: ZipStaff is seeking a Data Sustain Lead for BAU and L2/L3 support of a Customer Marketing data platform at a global technology services firm. You will own pipeline health, incident triage, ETL troubleshooting, and knowledge management against an automated sustain model. This is a production data-sustain seat with a rotational 24x7 shift — not a greenfield data-engineering build role. What You’ll Do: • Monitor data pipelines and marts: health checks, batch jobs, and SLA tracking. • Triage and resolve incidents in ServiceNow (P1–P4) to response and resolution SLAs. • Troubleshoot ETL and data pipelines (SAP BODS, Informatica IICS, Airflow, Snowflake tasks and streams). • Run SQL root-cause analysis and reconcile source to target. • Execute and improve runbooks, SOPs, and KEDB articles. • Support automated monitoring (AWS Lambda, SP mailer, CloudWatch, custom data-quality checks) and Grafana dashboards. • Manage changes in ServiceNow: implementation verification and rollback. • Author problem-management RCAs and track permanent fixes. • Maintain Confluence pages, KEDB entries, and runbooks. • Script automation and self-healing in Python, Shell, or PowerShell. • Use GitHub Copilot and prompt engineering where they speed sustain work, without replacing tested runbooks. • Work a rotational 24x7 shift with US EST overlap and on-call, and communicate clearly with onshore stakeholders during incidents. Required Qualifications: • 5+ years in data platform, application, or ETL sustain / production support. • BAU monitoring of pipelines, batch jobs, and SLAs. • ServiceNow incident and change management (P1–P4). • Hands-on ETL troubleshooting: SAP BODS, Informatica IICS, Airflow, or Snowflake tasks and streams. • SQL root-cause analysis and source-to-target reconciliation, including MS SQL Server. • Runbooks, SOPs, and knowledge management (Confluence / KEDB). • Scripting for automation (Python, Shell, or PowerShell). • Grafana , GitHub Copilot , and practical prompt engineering on support work. • Willingness to work rotational 24x7 shifts with US EST overlap and on-call. • Ability to work on-site in Charlotte, NC. • Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future. Preferred Qualifications: • Prior application, data, or platform sustain program. • Snowflake administration, Airflow DAG debugging, dbt tests. • AWS fundamentals (Lambda, S3, CloudWatch, IAM). • Data-quality frameworks (Great Expectations, Soda, or custom SQL DQ). • Chaos or resilience testing. • Banking or customer-marketing data. Benefits: • Health Insurance. • Dental Insurance. • Vision Insurance. • 401(k). • 401(k) matching. • Paid time off. • Referral Program. About ZipStaff: ZipStaff partners with leading organizations to connect skilled technology professionals with high-impact contract opportunities. We focus on quality matches, clear communication, and long-term success for candidates and clients. To apply, submit your resume highlighting production data-pipeline support, ServiceNow incidents you owned, and ETL tools you troubleshot. Build-only data engineers who will not take 24x7 will not be considered. Pay: $40 - $41 per hour
