• Collaborate with Drupal developers and architects to define content types, entities, and taxonomy structures that support incoming data.
• Configure and/or extend Drupal migration capabilities (e.g., Migrate API, custom scripts, or modules).
• Support implementation of Drupal-side migration pipelines, ensuring alignment with platform architecture and performance considerations.
• Contribute to data model design and content architecture decisions to enable scalable and maintainable ingestion patterns.
• Participate in debugging and optimizing Drupal-based migration processes and data ingestion workflows.
• Collaborate with DevOps teams to integrate migration activities into CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows.
• Work closely with:
  • Data migration specialists (source/SharePoint side)
  • Drupal developers and architects
  • DevOps and platform engineers

• Hands-on experience with:
  • Data transformation and scripting (Python, SQL, PowerShell, or similar)
  • ETL processes and migration automation
  • Metadata, taxonomy, and content modeling
  • Migrating document libraries and files, lists and structured data, permissions and access models
• Strong troubleshooting and data validation skills.
• Experience working with Drupal content architecture, including content types, entities, fields, and taxonomy
• Familiarity with Drupal migration frameworks (e.g., Migrate API) and/or custom ingestion approaches.
• Working knowledge of PHP and Drupal fundamentals as well as data modeling within Drupal systems
• Experience supporting or implementing content migrations into Drupal or similar CMS platforms.
• Experience with migration tools (ShareGate, Metalogix, DocAve, or similar) is a plus.
• Familiarity with AWS or cloud-based environments.
• Experience working in large-scale modernization or federal environments preferred.
