About The Position

As a Data Conversion Software Engineer, you’ll help design, build, and maintain systems that transform and integrate data across platforms supporting government-funded workforce development programs nationwide. You’ll work with modern web technologies in a collaborative, Agile environment and contribute to software that has real-world social impact.
Specifically, What You Will Do
You will build and support robust data ingestion and conversion solutions using MongoDB, Node.js, Nest.js, and Next.js. On any given day, you’ll be designing, building, and maintaining pipelines that transform structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data—such as documents, PDFs, images, and flat files—into normalized, usable data models. Your work will include developing applications and RESTful services that power data ingestion, validation, and transformation, as well as implementing OCR and document-processing solutions to extract text and metadata from document-heavy datasets. You’ll collaborate closely with engineers, analysts, and product partners to define conversion logic, troubleshoot data quality issues, and continuously improve accuracy, performance, scalability, security, and maintainability. As part of an Agile team, you’ll participate in regular Scrum ceremonies and have meaningful opportunities to innovate and make a real impact on the software we build.
