Data Engineer - Migrations

Datafold is a fast-growing, Series A startup at the forefront of data quality and observability—think Datadog for data engineers. Backed by top-tier investors including YC, Amplify, and NEA, we're redefining how companies like Disney, FanDuel, and Perplexity maintain quality across the entire data lifecycle. Although headquartered in the US, we’re a fully remote team with employees across the US and EU.

We are looking for a Data Engineer to play a key role in strategic customer engagements, leveraging the Datafold Migration Agent (DMA)—an AI-powered tool that’s transforming data migration. You will be instrumental in accelerating workflow migrations, helping customers transition their data platforms in a fraction of the time and cost.

• Meet with the customer and create an in-depth understanding of their migration project and architecture

• Collaborate closely with Datafold’s Engineering team on assembling an AI migration pipeline

• Advise the customer and Datafold team on the best way to approach migrations

• Leverage Datafold’s AI migration toolkit to perform translation and validation of complex pipelines

We are looking for engineers who have:

• 5+ years of experience as a Data Engineer

• Advanced mastery of SQL

• Strong understanding of key data engineering patterns, including batch orchestration (Airflow, dbt, Dagster, etc.) and streaming pipelines.

• Outstanding communication skills (consulting or customer-facing experience is a plus)

• Familiarity with at least one legacy (Oracle, SQL Server, SAP HANA, Teradata, etc.) or modern (Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery) data stack, with the ability to quickly learn and understand the use, purpose, and key differences of these systems

You will be a great fit if you have experience:

• Driving data platform migrations

• Across a broad set of data tools, including BI, (reverse) ETL, orchestration, etc.
