This is a role for someone who wants real ownership over a loosely-defined migration, not just a set of tickets. You'll decide how we get there, and you'll help shape what "there" looks like. You will contribute by You'll take a product that's still being defined and bring clarity to it, identifying bugs and opportunities as you go deep on how inspections actually work today.
