Key skills for this role
The Citation Group is building out its data and AI capabilities to be best in class. As part of this, we're looking for a Data Migration Engineer to join the data team and support in moving data safely and accurately between systems as we consolidate and modernise our platform landscape.
This isn't a generic ETL role. You'll be working on live migrations between operational systems (CRM, billing, and platform migrations) where the real risk isn't moving the data — it's the things that only surface once it lands: automation overwriting values post-import, subscription or contract logic that doesn't map cleanly, validation rules that silently reject or reshape records. You'll work closely with the Head of Data Migrations, data owners, and platform specialists (Salesforce, Chargebee, Dynamics) to make sure those gaps are found and designed for before cutover, not discovered during UAT.
We're looking for someone who's naturally curious about how systems actually work under the hood — not satisfied with a field-to-field mapping sheet until they understand the logic, constraints, and automation behind both ends of the migration.

We're looking for someone who can roll their sleeves up and dig into both the data and the systems around it. In addition, the successful candidate should have:
Excellent writing and communication skills with strong attention to detail — you'll need to explain system-behaviour gaps clearly to non-technical stakeholders
Experience writing, troubleshooting, and debugging advanced SQL queries
A track record of going beyond field-level mapping to understand why two systems behave differently — validation logic, automation, calculated fields, relationship structures
Outstanding analytical and problem-solving skills, particularly diagnosing whether an issue is a data problem, a mapping problem, or a platform automation problem
Experience with ETL/ELT tools and data migration projects specifically (not just general pipeline building)
Programming experience in Python
Comfort working with ambiguity — migration requirements shift as discovery uncovers new system behaviour, and you'll need to adapt scope calmly rather than treat it as scope creep
Skills and experience we'd love you to have... but if not? We'll help you get there:
Experience migrating data into or out of CRM/billing platforms such as Salesforce
Understanding of how declarative platform automation silently alter data post-import
Experience in relational cloud-based database technologies like Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift
Understanding of cloud computing security concepts
Familiarity with DBT and Databricks
Experience working in an agile environment
Experience working with AI tools (Claude Code, Cortex, etc.) to accelerate migration analysis
