An ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) developer is a data professional responsible for designing, building, and managing the systems that extract data from multiple sources, transform it into usable formats, and load it into data warehouses, lakes, or operational systems. These pipelines form the backbone of analytics, business intelligence, and decision-making across organizations.

ETL developers ensure data is accurate, consistent, and accessible for reporting and analysis. They work closely with data engineers, analysts, and business stakeholders to meet data requirements, troubleshoot issues, and maintain data integrity. The role demands strong technical skills in SQL, data modeling, and ETL tools, along with a clear understanding of data architecture and system performance.
