Job Description
Sr. ETL Migration Engineer
Location: Huntsville, AL
Position Description:
Senior ETL & Data Migration Engineer will lead high complexity extract, transform, and
load (ETL) operations supporting a major federal modernization program. This role is
responsible for architecting, operating, validating, and optimizing data migration
pipelines that move high volume, multi-source datasets from legacy environments into
modern cloud platforms. The engineer serves as a senior technical contributor within
the Migration Workstream, ensuring data quality, performance, and reliability throughout
large scale migration cycles.
Primary Responsibilities:
ETL Pipeline Architecture & Execution
• Design, develop, optimize, and maintain scalable ETL/ELT pipelines supporting
petabyte scale data migration.
• Build extraction and transformation logic for structured and unstructured datasets.
• Engineer automated workflows for performance, throughput, error handling, and
resiliency.
• Align pipeline architecture with cloud landing zone requirements and modernization
standards.
Data Migration Operations
• Lead operational execution of ETL tasks during migration cycles, ensuring correct
sequencing and validation.
• Troubleshoot pipeline failures, resolve data anomalies, and coordinate with
engineering teams to stabilize operations.
• Conduct readiness testing and verify integration points between legacy systems and
cloud targets.
Data Quality, Validation & Governance
• Perform detailed data quality checks, completeness assessments, and validation of
migrated data.
,• Lead root cause analysis for data defects and support corrective actions across the
migration workflow.
• Document recurring issues, improve detection processes, and help define quality
benchmarks.
Cross Functional Technical Collaboration
• Partner with Cloud Engineers, Data Engineers, DevSecOps teams, DBAs, QA/Test
Engineers, and Product Owners.
• Ensure ETL pipelines integrate seamlessly with cloud architectures, data models,
monitoring tools, and downstream systems.
• Participate in sprint ceremonies, technical reviews, and migration planning activities.
Documentation & Reporting
• Create and maintain ETL documentation including data maps, flow diagrams,
transformation logic, SOPs, and error logs.
• Provide pipeline performance updates, migration status reports, and data quality
metrics to leadership.
• Support development of reusable processes and technical artifacts supporting
repeatable migration operations.
Required qualifications to be successful in this role:
• Must have Active Top Secret Security Clearance, U.S. Citizenship.
• Bachelor’s degree and 8+ years of experience in ETL development, data engineering,
or enterprise scale migration operations.
• Strong experience with ETL tools, scripting languages, automation frameworks, and
high volume data pipelines.
• Hands on experience with legacy system extraction, cloud ingestion, and multi format
data transformation.
• Proven troubleshooting skills, including pipeline diagnostics and root cause analysis.
• Ability to operate in fast paced, multi team environments supporting mission critical
delivery.
Preferred Qualifications:
,• Experience supporting federal modernization programs including DOJ, FBI, or
Intelligence Community.
• Experience operating ETL pipelines within AWS or other cloud environments.
• Familiarity with DevSecOps workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and distributed compute tools.
• Advanced scripting or automation expertise (Python, Bash, PowerShell, etc.).
• Experience supporting petabyte scale data migrations or multi system consolidation.
