Requirements

• 2-4 years of hands-on experience in data migrations, ETL/ELT, technical implementations, or a closely related role working with messy, real-world production data. • Demonstrated ability to work directly in a Python codebase day-to-day (reading, debugging, and shipping changes via PRs) — ideally in a data/pipeline repo (e.g., Airflow DAGs, ingestion jobs, migration utilities). • Strong SQL proficiency used in practice for analysis, validation, reconciliation, and transformation work. • Experience translating ambiguous stakeholder requirements into concrete, testable migration/implementation plans (what we’re importing, what we’re not, and why). • Track record of operating in execution-heavy environments with high ownership and high attention to correctness (where mistakes create customer-facing trust issues). • Preferred • Experience with workflow orchestration and pipeline operations (Airflow, Dagster, Prefect, etc.), including interpreting logs, safe reruns, and handling large backfills/imports. • Experience with customer-facing implementation/onboarding work (especially where you need to explain constraints and tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders). • Familiarity with geospatial data concepts or GIS tooling (e.g., ArcGIS, address/parcel data), or strong willingness to learn quickly. • Experience in B2B SaaS (or similarly complex product domains) where data correctness materially impacts user workflows. • Experience partnering closely with product/engineering teams to turn recurring operational pain into playbooks, tooling improvements, and system-level fixes. • SQL – your core tool for validation, reconciliation, and troubleshooting • Python – used in data workflows and automation • Python • Airflow – for managing data migration pipelines • Airflow • RedwoodJS, GraphQL, TypeScript, AWS – the broader software engineering environment you’ll interact with • RedwoodJS, GraphQL, TypeScript, AWS

Responsibilities

• Own data migrations end-to-end. Work directly with government staff to understand their source systems, configure schema mappings and ingestion settings, run validations and dry-runs, and ensure accurate, complete data lands in GovWell. • Own data migrations end-to-end. • Be the gatekeeper for data quality. Identify gaps, inconsistencies, and edge cases in legacy data before they become production problems. Make documented judgment calls within defined constraints — and prevent bad or unsafe data from ever reaching production. • Be the gatekeeper for data quality. • Be the technical face of onboarding. Lead customer calls, clearly explain data requirements and tradeoffs, and guide agency staff through the transition from legacy systems to GovWell with calm confidence. • Be the technical face of onboarding. • Make the process better as you run it. Use internal tools, templates, and playbooks to reduce time-to-launch and minimize manual work. Help build toward a future where migrations are predictable, repeatable, and fast. • Make the process better as you run it. • Close the feedback loop with Product and Engineering. Document recurring issues, unmet assumptions, and tooling gaps encountered during migrations — helping the platform evolve based on what you see in the field. • Close the feedback loop with Product and Engineering.
