About The Position

Catalis is seeking a Data Migration Specialist for a 12-month contract role. This position is focused on helping clients transition from legacy systems to the Catalis cloud platform.

This role is ideal for individuals who enjoy problem-solving, working with data, and contributing to client success.

Requirements

• 1+ years of experience in implementation, development, automation, or data-centric roles, ideally supporting SaaS solutions or data migration projects.
• Python experience with at least one test automation framework (PyTest, Selenium, Playwright, or comparable).
• Experience working with APIs for data extraction, including writing and validating API-based workflows.
• Proficiency in PostgreSQL or MS-SQL, including CTEs, window functions, stored procedures, and dynamic queries.
• Experience with Git for source control, including branching, merging, and pull requests.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with ETL processes, SSIS packages, or AWS/cloud data services.
• Familiarity with functional or regression testing beyond API-level automation (e.g., UI, end-to-end).
• Experience with Municipal ERP, Accounting, Tax, Utilities, or Payroll software.
• Familiarity with JIRA, Confluence, Asana, or similar project and documentation platforms.

Responsibilities

• Migrate data from legacy systems to the Catalis cloud platform, including data cleansing, preparation, and migration activities based on approved mapping specifications.
• Execute mock migrations in lower environments, documenting results, exceptions, and reconciliation outputs for the Implementation team.
• Validate migration outcomes using defined reconciliation checks (record counts, key field verification, exception reporting) and escalate variances.
• Ensure data is accurately transformed, validated, and ready for go-live, supporting cutover execution and timely issue resolution.
• Provide post-go-live support by resolving migration-related data issues, including reloads and script corrections, and handing off final migration artifacts to support teams.
• Collaborate with the Project Coordinator and Implementation team to ensure accurate and complete data transfer within agreed timelines.
• Design, develop, and maintain automated test suites for migration, functionality, and regression testing of the Catalis ERP Cloud product.
• Build and maintain automation tooling using Python and relevant frameworks (PyTest, Selenium, Playwright, or equivalent).
• Develop API-based tooling to query cloud application data and validate it against legacy system SQL for migration correctness and post-load data integrity.
• Document test plans, results, and defect findings using project and collaboration platforms (JIRA, Confluence, or similar).
