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- Migration Strategy & Governance
- 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.
- 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.
- Cutover & Execution
- Coordinate mock runs, trial loads, and final cutover execution, ensuring data integrity is maintained throughout.
- 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.
- 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.
