Data Migration Engineer / SQL Developer at PlotBox

We pride ourselves on delivering world class solutions to our clients and rely on our talented and experienced Data Migration team to successfully onboard our customers to ensure their experience of our product is world class. At PlotBox we deal with a huge amount of data, ranging from critical business data to precious genealogical information. Our customers expect their data to be accurate and safe during the on-boarding process and whilst operating on a cloud platform. We provide our customers with confidence from the beginning of our relationship.

To support recent growth, we are looking for an SQL Developer to join our team. You will be working alongside other members of a small Agile team to complete customer data migration projects from various different source systems. Although the Data Team is centred around customer projects, this is a non customer facing role and the focus will be on the technical side of work.

Responsibilities

You will be responsible for:

• Development of migration scripts from target databases to upgraded schema
• Working with various types of data ranging from personal ownership records through to complex financial data
• Estimating and completing tasks as part of a Sprint team
• Executing Quality Assurance tests and checks on Data Migration scripts
• Working with the Technical Consultants to understand requirements and correct issues flagged in UAT

Who we think will be a great fit

ESSENTIAL:   

You will be focused on delivering high quality outputs and be flexible and adaptive to the needs of the business.  You will have the ability to work to project plans and manage your time effectively and will demonstrate a positive can-do attitude towards your work.

You will have:

• At least 12 months professional experience in a similar role (within the past three years)
• Strong SQL skills, including stored procedures
• Experience of working with varied data formats (csv, MS SQL, Excel, MySQL Postgres etc)
• Solid working knowledge of Microsoft Office and/or working knowledge of Google Drives (docs, sheets, slides etc.)
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Experience of contributing to process improvements
• Demonstrable experience working effectively as part of a team           
• A degree level qualification in Computing, Computer Science/CIT, or equivalent work experience

DESIRABLE:

Ideally you will have some experience of working with complex data migration from legacy systems to SaaS, but this is not a dealbreaker! We are more than happy to hear from you if you are keen to learn these aspects on the job.
