Remote Python Data Engineer

Job Description
We are hiring Python engineers to support a high-urgency data migration program as part of a recent acquisition. This role is focused on data transformation jobs—extracting flat data from Snowflake, transforming it into nested JSON, and persisting it into DB2 (often as CLOBs) for downstream Java ingestion. This is a Linux, bare-metal, backend-only environment. You will build transformation jobs largely from scratch and operate with minimal supervision under tight delivery milestones.
The contract will be short-term through the end of October or sooner. It can sit remotely working EST or CST.

Responsibilities:
- Develop and support Python (3.12.11) ETL/transformation jobs running on Linux
- Extract flat datasets from Snowflake and transform them into nested JSON objects
- Insert transformed payloads into DB2 (including writing to CLOB columns where required)
- Write and execute DB2 SQL (queries, inserts, validations)
- Implement file mapping...
