Informatica MDM and IDMC Tech Lead

Not Disclosed

Job Description & Details

This contract is a senior‑level lead role on an on‑site Informatica MDM/IDMC platform. You’ll own the end‑to‑end design, implementation, and ongoing tuning of a SaaS‑based MDM solution that feeds critical business data.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

You’ll spend most of your day in the Informatica IDMC console, wiring up Cloud Application Integration (CAI) and Cloud Data Integration (CDI) flows, then polishing data quality rules and governance policies. Expect to dive into data modeling—building entity hierarchies, defining match/merge logic, and tweaking performance knobs for scalability. You’ll also mentor junior engineers, review code, and act as the technical gatekeeper for any changes that could affect the MDM hub’s reliability.

The Core Tech Stack

The non‑negotiables are Java (or any compiled OO language) with solid Spring experience, because the integration layer is built on Spring‑boot services that talk to IDMC. On the Informatica side you need deep hands‑on with CAI, CDI, Data Quality, Data Governance, and the MDM SaaS APIs. The stack is essentially a Java‑Spring back‑end glued to Informatica’s cloud services, so you must be comfortable moving between code and the low‑code Informatica UI.

Interview Expectations

  1. “Walk me through how you’d design a match/merge strategy for a hierarchical customer entity in Informatica MDM SaaS.” They’re probing whether you understand entity‑level deduplication, survivorship rules, and the performance impact of large‑scale merges.
  2. “Explain a situation where a Spring‑based integration service caused a bottleneck in a CAI workflow. How did you diagnose and fix it?” They want to see your debugging depth—JVM profiling, thread‑pool tuning, and how you tie those fixes back into the Informatica pipeline.

Application Advice

Tailor your resume to hit the exact buzzwords: Informatica IDMC, CAI, CDI, Data Quality, Data Governance, MDM SaaS, entity modeling, match/merge, Java, Spring, technical lead. Put the years of experience right next to each skill (e.g., “5+ years Informatica IDMC administration”). Highlight any end‑to‑end MDM projects you led and quantify impact (e.g., “Reduced duplicate records by 30% after redesigning match rules”). This will get past the ATS and signal you’ve done the exact work they need.
