Job Description
About Windsor
Headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with an office in Northampton, Massachusetts, we are an agile, growing company made up of motivated and talented team members who share a passion for the environment. Since 1998, we have been developing systems and streamlining processes so our governmental agency clients can do their jobs better, protecting and improving water, air, land, natural resources, or health exposures.
We know that good ideas can come from anyone at Windsor and our core culture is about valuing everyone’s input, no matter the position. Continuous learning and growth are also encouraged. We are team players and pragmatic innovators. We love our work and maybe it’s because we fit each job, as much as we can, around the person, versus each person around the job.
The position As a Windsor Data Migration Analyst, you are a critical member on a project team that serves an important client. You enjoy helping our environmental agencies transform data so that they can more efficiently and effectively take the needed actions to improve the environment. During each work day, you thrive as you work independently while contributing as an active team member.
An important function of the team is to develop ETL (extract/transform/load) routines with substantial guidance and contribution from you, the data migrationanalyst. Such routines are predominantly custom coded routines that pull from an existing client’s system(s) into the Windsor-developed ecosystem.
This position requires a high level of proficiency of Microsoft SQL Server’s core platform and T-SQL coding, debugging, and performance tuning.
Your communication skills are also critical: you provide effective collaboration with all stakeholders such as Windsor Systems Analysts, the client, and other team members. As part of your job, you convey technical concepts to non-technical individuals and communicate ETL, business requirements and specifications. Once gathered, a major part of your role is to merge these requirements into the project architecture. A secondary function of your position is to standardize and improve processes and procedures for Windsor.
You are motivated towards building a long-term future with us and, like all team members, we are motivated to invest in you. Your role over time may shift and grow as you develop skills and seek new responsibilities.
