Job summary

Brooksource is seeking a Data Migration Specialist for a hybrid role based in Summit/Skillman, NJ, supporting the build-out of a clinical image library. You will manage the transfer of data from physical media and external sources into AWS S3 storage and perform batch-driven metadata entry into databases.

The role emphasizes hands-on data processing, data integrity, and cross-functional collaboration on a high-visibility initiative, with 4 in-office days and compensation of $20-30 per hour.

Qualifications

• 1-4 years of database experience, with strong comfort working across database structures and metadata fields.
• Proficiency in Python for running and modifying programmatic/batch scripts used in metadata data entry.
• Experience with database/metadata entry, including basic SQL or structured data entry tools.
• Comfort with large-scale physical file transfer (external hard drives, flash drives) and handling sensitive physical media.
• Highly detail-oriented, with strong data organization and quality-control habits.
• Familiarity with AWS S3 (basic upload/organize functions) preferred

Responsibilities

• Transfer critical data files from external hard drives, flash drives, and CRO-provided folders directly to AWS S3 storage buckets
• Organize and structure digital image and data files to align with internal repository standards
• Run and modify Python scripts to verify study completeness for high-impact studies
• Use programmatic/batch scripts to enter metadata into corresponding database fields, extracting relevant information from file names and paths
• Verify all files have been fully transferred from source and document transfer logs (e.g., total file count and file size)
• Work in parallel across multiple data pathways—some routed through physical hard drives requiring onsite work, others through folder transfers—flagging and manually resolving files that fall outside scripted processes
