• Own complex customer data migration end to end, including database schema mapping, ETL tool configuration, and scripting, to ensure the product is populated with accurate, validated data

• Confirm and pressure-test customer requirements across both configuration and data, resolving ambiguity and advising customers on the optimal solution design

• Design and execute comprehensive test scenarios that validate the configuration and migrated data produce accurate, expected outcomes prior to go-live

• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for government / customer stakeholder like Budget Directors, IT personnel, and decision-makers, guiding them through the deployment and integration process

• Identify recurring customer pain points and partner with cross-functional teams to simplify, enhance, and automate processes that improve customer workflows and delivery efficiency

• Define and improve implementation standards, templates, playbooks, and reusable tooling that increase the quality, consistency, and speed of delivery

• Partner closely with the Project Management, Customer Success Management, Data/Integration, and Product teams to ensure a consistent customer experience, and channel field feedback into the product roadmap

Requirements and Preferred Experience

• 3 to 6 years of experience in software implementation, data migration, or technical consulting, ideally with enterprise or SaaS products

• 3+ years of hands-on SQL scripting experience, including complex queries, data transformation, and reconciliation

• 3+ years of Python, or similar, scripting experience for automation and data processing

• Deep experience with database technologies and with ETL and data-migration concepts and tools, including schema design and performance considerations

• Experience implementing AI-driven solutions for automation, workflow optimization, and data-driven insights, leveraging modern frameworks and AI models

• Demonstrated ability to deliver complex implementations end to end and to mentor or provide technical guidance to less-experienced engineers

• Excellent interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills, with a strong teamwork and customer-service mentality across executive and technical stakeholders

• Strong attention to detail, with the proven ability to validate, reconcile, and sign off on data and configuration for accuracy
