As a Data Conversion Engineer, you will lead the technical process of migrating and converting customer data as clients onboard to IDEXX software platforms, working closely with implementation teams to make sure every conversion is accurate, on time, and built to last.

What You Need To Succeed

• Experience with multiple programming languages and solid back-end development skills (Python, PHP)
• A genuine interest in data, data structures, and databases, and how they move between systems
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to work directly with clients and internal teams
• The ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines with strong attention to detail
• Accurate & clear technical documentation
• Exposure to AWS, cloud infrastructure, or CI/CD pipelines
• Experience mentoring or supervising junior team members
• Exposure to data conversion or migration frameworks
