The Imaging Data Technician keeps Ancestry's image files organized and accurate as they move through the production pipeline. That means handling the metadata, file names, and imports that turn raw scans into finished digital assets ready for Ancestry's archive partners and website users.

The job uses Ancestry's imaging tools, ticketing systems, and databases to make sure every file is properly labeled, mapped, and technically correct.

Build and maintain mapping configurations that route content into Ancestry's proprietary imaging systems. Apply and validate metadata, naming conventions, and file structures to ensure content meets technical specifications and downstream searchability requirements.

Monitor production pipelines and diagnose issues across mapping, web crawls, SFTP transfers, and ingestion workflows.

Coordinate concurrent projects and workstreams — tracking status, surfacing blockers, managing dependencies, and driving issues to resolution.

Manage ticket queues (Workfront) from intake to close — triaging reprocess requests, investigating root causes, and tracking resolution through completion.

Process digital image hard drives by validating data integrity, reconciling import records, and resolving ingestion or mapping errors.

Query databases (MySQL or comparable) to investigate discrepancies, verify ingestion results, and support error resolution.

Prepare and verify digital delivery packages, confirming metadata accuracy, file structure, and documentation before transfer to archival partners.

Partner with project managers, support teams, and cross-functional groups to coordinate handoffs, improve processes, and document workflows.
