The Data Migration Engineer is responsible for planning and executing the end-to-end transformation and migration of large, complex datasets across differing source and target platforms. This role carries direct responsibility for data extraction, validation, and reconciliation within high-scrutiny, government-linked environments - safeguarding data integrity, traceability, and audit compliance throughout every phase of the migration lifecycle. 


What You'll Do

1. Migration Stratefgy & Goverance

  • Plan and strategize the end-to-end data transformation and migration approach for large, complex datasets across differing source and target platforms. 
  • Establish and enforce data migration standards, governance, and documentation across project implementations. 

2. Data Extraction, Validation & Reconciliation

  • Lead the extraction, validation, and reconciliation of production data, working directly within high-scrutiny, government-linked environments. 
  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex data discrepancies arising during migration and validation. 

3. Cutover & Execution

  • Coordinate mock runs, trial loads, and final cutover execution, ensuring data integrity is maintained throughout. 

4. Compliance, Traceability & Performance

  • Ensure strict data traceability and compliance with audit requirements throughout the migration lifecycle. 
  • Monitor and optimize database performance and availability during and after migration, ensuring service levels are met and implementing improvements when needed. 

5. Stakeholder & Technical Engagement

  • Engage stakeholders and application teams, explaining technical decisions and reviewing data models to ensure migration approach aligns with system design. 

Who You Are

Must-Have 

  • Proven track record of delivering data migration projects in a public sector or other high-scrutiny, government-linked context. 
  • Strong hands-on proficiency with Python and ETL tooling. 
  • Hands-on experience with native cloud migration services such as AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) and Azure Migration Services. 
  • Demonstrated ability to lead mock runs, trial loads, and cutover execution while maintaining strict data integrity. 
  • Strong troubleshooting skills for resolving complex data discrepancies during migration and validation. 
  • Must be a Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident, as this role requires direct access to sensitive production data. 

Good-to-Have 

  • Experience working with database performance tuning and monitoring tools. 
  • Familiarity with data governance, audit, and compliance frameworks in regulated or public sector environments. 
  • Relevant cloud or data certifications (e.g. AWS Certified Database - Specialty, Microsoft Certified: Azure Database Administrator Associate). 
  • Experience engaging directly with stakeholders and application teams on technical data model decisions. 

This role is not a fit if: 

  • You are not eligible to work with sensitive production data as a Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident. 
  • You prefer low-scrutiny environments over rigorous audit, traceability, and compliance requirements. 
  • You're uncomfortable troubleshooting complex, high-pressure data discrepancies during live cutover windows. 
  • You see documentation and governance standards as optional rather than core to the job.
