We’re seeking a candidate who possesses strong technical expertise and enjoys working collaboratively, contributing to a culture of continuous improvement and innovation. If you're excited about making a real impact in a team-oriented setting, this could be the right fit for you.

What You Will Be Doing

• Build, maintain, and optimize Connect integration pipelines between source systems and Xactly.

• Troubleshoot and resolve data quality issues, failed Connect jobs, data mismatches, and pipeline errors before commission runs.
• Document pipeline configurations, field mappings, and transformation logic so the next developer doesn't have to reverse-engineer it.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on Xactly Connect experience, specifically with data pipelines, transformations, and scheduling.
• Proficiency in Xactly Extend and Xactly CEA.
• Strong SQL skills for writing, optimizing, and troubleshooting queries, alongside familiarity with ETL concepts and flat-file/SFTP data exchange patterns.
• Experience with source system integrations such as SFDC, Workday, NetSuite, or similar CRM/HCM/ERP platforms.
• Strong attention to detail, recognizing that errors in comp data have a direct pay impact.

Nice to Have

• Xactly certification(s).
• Knowledge of ICM/SPM processes (quota, territory, crediting, payment cycles).
• Scripting experience (Python, PowerShell, or shell) for Connect job automation.
• Familiarity with data warehousing or BI tools (Snowflake, Tableau, etc.).
