About the job

Requirements
  • A minimum of 12 years of experience is required.
  • A minimum of 15 years of full-time education is required.
  • Strong hands-on expertise in SAP BusinessObjects Data Services (BODS) ETL development and operations.
  • Solid understanding of data integration patterns, transformation logic, and enterprise data quality practices.
  • Experience designing reliable, scalable data pipelines with performance and governance in mind.
  • Ability to use tool-augmented workflows, retrieval-grounded recommendations, evaluation loops, and safe automation boundaries.
Responsibilities
  • Architect an end-to-end integration solution; drive client discussions to define integration requirements and translate business requirements into technology solutions.
  • Map business processes to support applications, define data entities, select integration technology components and patterns, and design integration architecture.
  • Design, develop, and operate BODS data integration jobs for structured and semi-structured data across SAP and non-SAP systems.
  • Implement robust batch and near-real-time data pipelines supporting analytics, reporting, data warehousing, and downstream applications.
  • Build reusable data flows, workflows, and transforms aligned to enterprise data architecture standards.
  • Design complex transformation logic using BODS features such as queries, transforms, lookups, hierarchies, and reusable objects.
  • Implement data enrichment, standardization, and harmonization logic across multiple source systems.
  • Apply canonical data modeling practices to reduce duplication and point-to-point complexity.
  • Implement data quality rules for validation, cleansing, matching, deduplication, and standardization.
  • Build profiling and validation pipelines to assess data completeness, accuracy, consistency, and timeliness.
  • Support governance requirements through lineage-aware jobs, audit trails, and traceable transformations.
  • Build data engineering agents to analyze source metadata and recommend transformation logic, propose data quality rules from observed patterns and historical issues, and generate initial ETL mappings and job scaffolding validated against enterprise standards.
  • Implement retrieval-grounded assistance using metadata catalogs, mapping documents, business rules, and historical defects to produce verifiable recommendations.
  • Enable conversational exploration of data pipelines, including explanations of record failures and changes in prior loads, with grounded, auditable outputs.
  • Design automated validation strategies including schema checks, row counts, reconciliation rules, referential integrity checks, and regression comparisons.
  • Establish evaluation harnesses for AI behaviors, including golden datasets for transformations, accuracy checks for generated rules, and drift detection.
  • Gate releases of ETL logic and AI-generated artifacts through measurable quality thresholds.
  • Optimize ETL jobs for performance and scalability through parallelism, pushdown, efficient transforms, and resource tuning.
  • Implement error handling, restartability, idempotency, and recovery mechanisms to support reliable operations.
  • Monitor pipelines and proactively identify bottlenecks, failures, or data degradation patterns.
  • Monitor job execution, data volumes, and quality metrics, and implement alerts aligned to SLAs and business impact.
  • Perform root-cause analysis for load failures and data issues, and document and automate preventive actions.
  • Use AI-augmented diagnostics to cluster recurring issues and recommend remediation steps grounded in runbooks and past incidents.
  • Support modernization initiatives by integrating BODS pipelines with cloud data platforms and analytics ecosystems.
  • Assist in transitioning legacy ETL logic toward more modular, metadata-driven, and AI-augmented data architectures.
  • Collaborate with data architects, analytics teams, and platform engineers to deliver end-to-end data solutions.
Desired Qualifications
  • Data warehousing and analytics fundamentals, including facts, dimensions, hierarchies, and reconciliation.
  • Knowledge of metadata management, lineage concepts, and data governance frameworks.
  • Experience integrating ETL platforms with cloud data ecosystems and modern analytics tools.

Accenture jumps 19% on earnings beat as SEC opens private assets to retail investors

Accenture shares rose about 19% after the consulting firm beat earnings and revenue expectations for its fiscal 2026 year, and guided fiscal 2027 slightly above Wall Street forecasts. Revenue grew 5% in local currency; management expects 3% to 6% growth next year. Non-GAAP operating margin edged up to 15.8%. The stock had dipped below 10 times expected earnings and now trades at about 14 times. Accenture said 65% of new bookings came from outcome-based fixed-price projects, which a Motley Fool contributor called a counterweight to AI's unpredictable costs. Separately, new US Securities and Exchange Commission rules aim to open private assets to retail investors. They raise the performance fee cap for registered advisers, add professional licences as a route to accredited investor status, and give private funds more leeway on redemptions.

Accenture eyes $1.5B Greater China sale while building Gemini AI launchpads for US agencies

Accenture's federal arm, Accenture Federal Services, is working with Google Public Sector on Gemini launchpads for US federal agencies. The tools aim to help agencies build generative AI models into mission workflows and internal operations. Separately, Accenture is reviewing options for its Greater China business, including a possible sale. A deal was reported at up to $1.5 billion, and the company has hired JPMorgan to explore options. Accenture, a US-based IT consulting and managed services group, has a market value of about $141.3 billion. Investors are watching for contract wins from the Gemini work and any formal update on the China review.

TÜV SÜD and Accenture unveil physical AI safety suite to bring factories online up to 30% sooner

TÜV SÜD and Accenture are working with NVIDIA technologies to speed up safety certification of robots in factories and warehouses. They unveiled a joint "Physical AI Safety Suite" at NVIDIA GTC Berlin. The suite uses digital twins, AI agents, and simulations to partly replace manual assessments. TÜV SÜD estimates the digital process could bring production online up to 30% sooner. Certification against standards such as ISO 3691-4 is mandatory in many industrial countries before automated facilities can start. At a medium-sized plant, agreeing on safety concepts can take several weeks. The suite checks layouts, robot fleets, and individual robots before deployment. TÜV SÜD provides independent assessment and keeps responsibility for certification.

Accenture caps staff AI spending at $29 a month after $1,000 bills

Accenture has capped employee AI spending at $29 (£21.75) a month after some staff ran up bills of $1,000, according to a report by 404 Media. The consulting firm wants to curb runaway costs as employees use AI for more everyday tasks. Companies are typically billed by usage, like a utility. Last week, some staff were told their access to Anthropic's Claude had been pulled entirely. Others are also reining in costs. Uber capped engineers' Claude spending at $1,500 a month after using up its AI budget in four months, while Microsoft has reportedly cut its Claude spending by about a third. The curbs come as Anthropic prepares for a public listing, targeting a valuation as high as $2tn. Investors are reportedly considering about $1.5tn.

Accenture's AI push: analysts see earnings reaching $10.3B by 2029 on 5.2% yearly revenue growth

Accenture is shifting AI work from pilots to deeply embedded systems, according to recent deals with UMass Memorial Health, Dell, Microsoft and Workday. The UMass Memorial project is a multi-year AI data platform, while the Dell alliance pitches private AI infrastructure to regulated clients. Analysts expect revenue to grow 5.2% a year over the next three years, with profit margins rising from 11.3% to 11.9%. They forecast earnings of $10.3 billion by 2029, up from $8.4 billion today, on revenue of $86.3 billion. The stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 14.2x, against 21.9x for US IT peers. Risks include slower decision cycles in federal and EMEA work, which could curb consulting demand and margins.
