🧠 What Success Looks Like

• Source data lands in gaiia accurately, completely, and on schedule, with discrepancies caught before go-live.
• Transformation and validation work is reusable — later migrations build on your templates and rules rather than starting from scratch.
• Data issues are diagnosed and resolved quickly, keeping migrations on schedule.
• Tooling gaps are either fixed directly or clearly specified for the Migration Platform team.
• The data you deliver is trusted — accurate and well-documented enough to present to customers with confidence.

🎖️ Qualifications

• Experience (3-5+ years) in data engineering, data migration, ETL, or a similar hands-on data role.
• Strong command of ETL fundamentals — you treat extract → transform → load as a deliberate methodology: staging, repeatable/idempotent loads, full vs. incremental loads, and validation and reconciliation at each stage.
• Hands-on data-manipulation fluency — comfortable querying, profiling, and reshaping data across languages (SQL, Python, JSON, or similar) and debugging issues in unfamiliar source schemas.
• Experience extracting data from a variety of sources: relational databases, APIs, flat files, and backups.
• Proven ability to transform messy, poorly documented data into clean, structured output.
• Solid grasp of data quality, validation, reconciliation, and cleansing techniques.
• Familiarity with OSS/BSS, telecom, or billing/CRM data models (e.g. subscribers, services, billing accounts) — or the ability to ramp on unfamiliar domain models quickly.
• Proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript (Node) for data and tooling work, and comfort with version-controlled, repeatable transformations.
• A bias toward reusability and automation over one-off scripts.
• Comfortable operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with shifting source systems.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Data/Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.

✅ Nice-to-have

• Comfort using AI-assisted tooling to accelerate data exploration, mapping, and validation.
• Familiarity with building or extending an internal data platform or migration tooling.
• Exposure to cutover/go-live operations: delta loads, reconciliation, and rollback.
• Experience collaborating with a separate platform or product engineering team.
