Municipal and county governments in 40+ states use GovWell's AI operating system to deliver better services, work smarter, and build public trust. Backed by Insight.
About the role
When a city switches to GovWell, one thing has to go right before anything else can: their data. A decade of permits, parcels, inspections, and license records — often living in a 2009 Access database, a folder of CSVs, or a legacy system with no documentation — has to land in GovWell accurately. If it doesn't, our relationship with a new client is off to a bumpy start.
What they're looking for
- 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)

GovWell replaces legacy software for municipalities and counties, empowering public servants to radically streamline public services and cut internal processing time for permits and licenses by up to 95%.
