Job Description
Project – the aim you’ll have
Join a large-scale data migration programme run by an international software provider operating in a regulated, audited sector. You will work in a small, senior delivery team alongside the client’s own engineering squads, moving millions of records from a legacy system into a modern Azure estate. Strict reconciliation standards, genuine accountability for data integrity, and direct contact with the client’s technical leadership.
Role – how you’ll contribute
Design, build and run ETL pipelines migrating data from legacy SQL Server databases into Azure SQL
Profile and reverse-engineer source schemas where documentation is incomplete, and document the model you reconstruct
Build validation and reconciliation logic that proves completeness and correctness ahead of the initial load and every delta load
Work with the Business Analyst on data mapping, transformation rules and the agreed data dictionary
Execute migration rehearsal runs and support the cutover
Follow ITIL-aligned change and release management for every production change
Diagnose and resolve production data incidents, and contribute to root cause analysis and permanent fixes
Maintain technical documentation for the migration components and hand it over at the end of the engagement

Comfort working from incomplete documentation, using schema discovery and data profiling as a first step
Experience handling JSON and XML payloads held inside relational structures
English at C1 or above, with daily contact with international stakeholders
