The Opportunity

Brightflag is the fastest growing company in the legal tech space and the #1 rated enterprise legal management product on G2. We’re bringing a trailblazing product, which is truly differentiated, to a fast growing market. And we are continuing to invest heavily in product and customer success. This means that our Customer Success teams support our customers to deliver significant business impact from our solution. We help legal functions transform and partner with customers to create genuine value for their businesses. Sound like a fit for you?

Brightflag is seeking an ambitious, highly motivated Data Migration Engineer who brings not only strong hands-on data transformation skills but also the technical expertise and creativity to improve and automate how we deliver migration work. You will join a team of highly skilled Implementation Consultants responsible for onboarding new customers and accelerating their time to value. In this role, you will execute data migration tasks—while also designing better, faster, more scalable ways of performing those tasks. You will work cross-functionally with Customer Success Managers (CSMs), Support, Sales, Product, and Engineers within Brightflag.

To excel in this role, you will combine strong data expertise with hands-on programming capability to design, build, and continuously improve a repeatable, scalable data migration process from legacy legal systems into Brightflag. You will be comfortable working with complex data schemas and models, transforming and validating data to ensure accuracy and integrity, and translating ambiguous source data into well-structured target formats. You will apply your coding skills to develop, automate, and maintain scripts or applications that reduce manual effort and improve reliability, while independently managing multiple concurrent migration projects, proactively prioritizing work, and driving solutions forward with minimal oversight.

What You Will Be Doing

Continuously refine and optimize migration processes based on project learnings to improve scalability and repeatability
Design and build automation scripts, templates, or internal tools to improve efficiency, consistency, and reliability
Independently manage multiple concurrent migration projects, including planning, prioritization, and execution
Collaborate with Implementation Managers and customer stakeholders to define requirements and ensure successful migrations
Evaluate customer data structures, relationships, and data quality across diverse legacy systems
Identify, design, and implement data cleansing, normalization, and transformation logic
Create and maintain clear source-to-target data mapping and migration documentation
Develop migration plans, timelines, and effort estimates, proactively identifying risks and dependencies
Use scripting languages, automation tools, or AI-assisted workflows to extract, transform, and validate large datasets efficiently
Load validated and transformed data into Brightflag using internal migration tools
Develop and execute test plans to verify accuracy, integrity, and completeness of migrated data
Troubleshoot and resolve data discrepancies, migration failures, or unexpected edge cases
Maintain clear documentation of migration logic, processes, and outcomes for reuse and continuous improvement
Support end-users post-migration and address data quality concerns as they arise
Proactively identify process gaps and collaborate with Product or Engineering on enhancements or potential API integrations
Assist Professional Services leadership with effort estimation, capacity planning, and scoping for upcoming migrations

Skills & Experience

3–5 years' hands-on experience working with large datasets, including data transformation, data modelling, and data analysis
Proficiency with at least one scripting or programming language (e.g., Python, SQL, Java) used to build, maintain, and automate data processing workflows
Experience applying automation or AI-assisted tools to streamline repetitive workflows and improve data quality, consistency, or reliability
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to diagnose and resolve complex data issues
Effective communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
Demonstrated project management skills with strong attention to detail and follow-through
Experience working in a B2B SaaS environment or similarly complex, customer-facing technical context
Comfort working across a range of data tools, including spreadsheets (e.g., Excel) for data exploration and validation, alongside APIs, SQL, and ETL or workflow automation technologies for scalable data processing
Strong time management skills with the ability to prioritize and deliver across multiple concurrent projects
Self-motivated, with a continuous improvement mindset and a demonstrated interest in building scalable, repeatable systems rather than one-off solutions
