## 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)
