ETL Developer remote jobs

Back in 2006, Clive Humby, a data scientist and the pioneer of data analytics coined a phrase:

"Data is the new oil."

Many years later, this statement is still valid and is even more meaningful. With the growing need to receive, process, manage data, and extract insights from it, the role of Data Engineers skyrocketed. Among other professionals, ELT Developers are in great demand. Hence, the number of ETL Developer jobs keeps increasing.

ETL stands for "Extract, Transform and Load" and refers to the technology basically allowing to collect, transform, and load data obtained from multiple sources, as well as move it to target databases. ETL technology is essential for performing marketing data integration, advanced business intelligence, and database replication. So, which tools and technologies should an onsite ETL Engineer know to make various operations with data successfully?
