<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Our product helps regulated enterprises understand what will break before they migrate from legacy data platforms. </strong>Our software reads ETL tools, databases, and proprietary formats, then turns that information into trusted lineage and dependency maps.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">We are early-stage, funded, and building a small product team. You will own the connectors and parsers that make the product work. We operate AI-first. You are expected to actively use AI throughout the development process to move faster, improve quality, and solve unfamiliar technical problems. Engineers still own every technical decision and the final correctness of the output.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>What you'll do</strong></span></p> <ul> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Build connectors for legacy ETL platforms, databases, and modern cloud data systems.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Parse XML, SQL, repository exports, scripts, and vendor-specific formats.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Turn extracted metadata into accurate lineage and dependency models.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Create automated tests and known-good datasets to verify connector accuracy.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Improve the connector framework with our Principal Architect and document reusable patterns.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Integrate AI into your daily development workflow to accelerate reverse engineering, coding, testing, debugging, and documentation.</span></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>What we're looking for</strong></span></p> <ul> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Strong data engineering, metadata, or systems integration experience.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Hands-on work with ETL platforms, SQL parsing, data lineage, or transformation logic.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Experience reverse engineering unfamiliar or poorly documented systems.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Comfort working in TypeScript and building automated tests.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Well-versed in AI-assisted software development, with demonstrated experience embedding AI tools into the development process rather than using them occasionally.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">A bias for shipping quickly, testing thoroughly, and fixing errors rather than explaining them away.</span></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Nice to have</strong></span></p> <ul> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Experience with Informatica PowerCenter, DataStage, Talend, SSIS, or similar platforms.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Knowledge of graph models, OpenMetadata, OpenLineage, compilers, or parsers.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Experience delivering software into regulated or security-reviewed environments.</span></li> </ul> <p> </p> <h3><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Why Join FormativGroup</span></h3> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">At FormativGroup, you’ll work with people who are practical, collaborative, and focused on solving meaningful business and technology problems.
