You feel at home navigating undocumented mainframes, tangled schemas, and ambiguous specs - and you know how to translate that chaos into a clear technical path forward. If you love owning complex migrations end-to-end, building trust with stakeholders through clarity and honesty, and shaping how data moves from legacy into the lakehouse era - this is for you.Your tasks\n Migration Ownership: Lead large-scale migration projects from legacy systems (ranging from SQL over ERP to mainframes) into modern cloud/lakehouse targets, taking full technical responsibility.\nDatabricks Architecture: Design and implement robust pipelines using Spark, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, Lakeflow Declarative Pipelines, and Databricks Asset Bundles for CI/CD-style deployment.\nData Modeling & Reconciliation: Own data modeling, schema mapping, and reconciliation across heterogeneous systems, resolving structural mismatches independently.\nDiscovery & Assessment Leadership: Reviewing source documentation, interviewing SMEs, producing gap analyses, and translating ambiguous or outdated specs into concrete technical requirements.\nData Quality & Validation: Establish data quality frameworks and automated validation as team standards.\nStakeholder Communication: Proactively surface risks - documentation gaps, structural mismatches - clearly and early to non-technical stakeholders, representing SQUER with confidence.\nYour qualifications\nMust-HavesMigration Track Record: 5+ years in data engineering, with several large-scale legacy-to-cloud/lakehouse migrations led independently.\nDatabricks Depth: Hands-on mastery of the Databricks ecosystem - Spark, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, Lakeflow Declarative Pipelines, and Asset Bundles for CI/CD-style deployment.\nData Modeling & Reconciliation: Strong command of data modeling and schema mapping across heterogeneous systems, from mainframes to legacy ERPs.\nDiscovery Experience: Experience in discovery/assessment phases end-to-end - interviewing SMEs, identifying gaps between legacy systems and target architecture, turning ambiguity into concrete requirements.\n Data Quality Rigor: Practical experience with data quality frameworks and automated validation (e.g., Great Expectations, dbt tests, custom reconciliation tooling).\nCommunication & Risk Ownership: Ability to break down complex topics and surface risks early and clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.\nAI-Assisted Workflows: Comfort using AI/LLM-assisted tooling in a data pipeline context.\n\n Nice-to-HavesExperience with legacy system archaeology (undocumented COBOL/mainframe systems, EDI, proprietary ERPs)\nExposure to agentic AI\nMetadata management or data catalog tooling beyond Unity Catalog\nExperience building or evaluating LLM-based mapping/matching tools (schema matching, entity resolution)\n\nYour Benefits\nWhy You'll Love Working at SQUER:Ownership & Responsibility: at SQUER, we believe in empowering our team.
