About Our Client

Our client is a fast-growing, venture-backed software company building a modern operating system for communications service providers — a single platform managing billing, operations, and automation. The company is fully remote across the US and Canada and operates with a transparent salary philosophy, with compensation published internally under a structured evaluation framework.

About the Role

When a new customer joins the platform, their data has to come with them — out of legacy systems and into the client's product, accurately, completely, and on schedule. This role owns the technical execution of that work.

As a Data Migration Engineer on the client's migration delivery team, the role will own customer migrations end-to-end from the technical side: exploring legacy source systems, exporting data, transforming it into the platform's standard format, and driving it to a validated, production-ready state. The engineer works from business context and mapping rules defined by a customer-facing migration counterpart, and works daily in the company's internal migration tooling — improving it directly where possible and specifying larger needs for the platform engineering team to build.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys turning messy, real-world data into something clean, repeatable, and trusted — and who is equally comfortable leading technical conversations directly with customers. The team is expanding significantly, so this hire will help shape how migrations are run going forward.

Key Responsibilities

• •    Explore legacy source systems — databases, flat files, reports, APIs — to understand their structure, quality, and relationships in the context of the target data model.


• •    Export source data across a range of access methods, including SQL, APIs, manual extracts, and database backups.


• •    Transform exported data into the platform's standard format by authoring declarative, version-controlled mapping files that encode agreed business rules.


• •    Execute migrations end-to-end on the internal migration platform: load, validate against target schemas, reconcile, and import to production.


• •    Build and reuse mappings, templates, and validation rules so each migration is faster and more repeatable than the last.


• •    Contribute engineering improvements to the migration tooling — validation rules, transforms, mapping updates — and raise larger needs to the platform engineering team.


• •    Diagnose and resolve data discrepancies during dry runs, UAT, and post-cutover.


• •    Document mapping specs, transformation logic, and data anomalies so migrations are auditable and repeatable.

• •    Source data lands in the platform accurately, completely, and on schedule — with discrepancies caught before go-live.


• •    Transformation and validation work is reusable, so later migrations build on prior templates and rules.


• •    Data issues are diagnosed and resolved quickly, keeping migrations on track.


• •    Tooling gaps are either fixed directly or clearly specified for the platform engineering team.


• •    Delivered data is trusted — accurate and well-documented enough to present to customers with confidence.

What the Right Person Brings

• •    3–5+ years in data engineering, data migration, ETL, or a similar hands-on data role.


• •    Strong SQL and ETL fundamentals — treating extract → transform → load as a deliberate methodology: staging, repeatable and idempotent loads, full vs. incremental loads, and validation and reconciliation at every stage.


• •    Hands-on data-manipulation fluency across SQL, Python, JSON, or similar — querying, profiling, reshaping data, and debugging unfamiliar source schemas.


• •    Experience extracting data from varied sources: relational databases, APIs, flat files, and backups.


• •    AWS experience — particularly Athena — and depth in SQL-based systems.


• •    A background in high-volume, structured, or legacy data environments — for example banking, legal software, payroll, large CRMs, or enterprise SaaS with financial modules.


• •    A proven ability to transform messy, poorly documented data into clean, structured output, with a solid grasp of data quality, validation, reconciliation, and cleansing.


• •    Client-facing communication skills — comfortable leading technical conversations directly with customers.


• •    Comfort in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with shifting source systems, and a bias toward reusability and automation over one-off scripts.


• •    A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Data or Software Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent work experience.

Nice to Have

• •    Familiarity with TypeScript/JavaScript (Node).


• •    Familiarity with OSS/BSS, telecom, or billing/CRM data models (subscribers, services, billing accounts) — or a demonstrated ability to ramp quickly on unfamiliar domain models.


• •    Comfort using AI-assisted tooling to accelerate data exploration, mapping, and validation.


• •    Experience building or extending an internal data platform or migration tooling.


• •    Exposure to cutover and go-live operations: delta loads, reconciliation, rollback.


• •    Experience collaborating with a separate platform or product engineering team.

Compensation & Benefits

• Our client offers competitive compensation aligned with experience and geography, under a transparent internal salary framework, along with:


• •    A flexible 25-day vacation policy and flexible working hours.


• •    Stock options.


• •    Group insurance and telemedicine.


• •    A life spending account and retirement savings plan.


• •    100% remote work, company-wide.
