This is a 12-month contract with the opportunity for extension and the potential to transition into a permanent role. It is an onsite position based in our Edmonton office, Monday through Friday.

What You Will Do

Data Migration

• Migrate data from the legacy system into the Catalis cloud platform by executing data cleansing, preparation, and migration activities aligned with approved mapping specifications.
• Execute mock migrations in lower environments, capturing results, exceptions, and reconciliation outputs for review by the Implementation team.
• Validate migration outcomes using defined reconciliation checks — record counts, key field verification, and exception reporting — escalate variances as needed.
• Ensure data is accurately transformed, validated, and ready for go-live, while supporting cutover execution and timely issue resolution.
• Provide post-go-live support by resolving migration-related data issues, including reloads, and script corrections, ensuring final migration artifacts are handed off to support teams.
• Work closely with the Project Coordinator and Implementation team to ensure data is transferred accurately, completely, and within agreed timelines.

QA Automation

• Design, develop, and maintain automated test suites covering migration, functionality, and regression testing for the Catalis ERP Cloud product.
• Build and maintain automation tooling using Python and one or more frameworks (PyTest, Selenium, Playwright, or equivalent).
• Develop API-based tooling to query cloud application data and validate it against legacy system SQL, ensuring migration correctness and data integrity post-load.
• Document test plans, results, and defect findings using project and collaboration platforms (JIRA, Confluence or similar).

Requirements

What you Will Need to Succeed
