About the Role

We are looking for a Senior SQL Engineer to lead the design and implementation of SQL-based solutions powering our critical applications and workflows. This role goes beyond writing SQL code - it's about defining standards, mentoring peers, owning architecture, and enabling productivity through AI, CI/CD, and automation.

Responsibilities

· Architect, develop, and optimize SQL Server solutions including stored procedures, ETL packages (SSIS), and schema designs.

· Lead performance tuning, root cause analysis, and system-level SQL improvements.

· Collaborate across business, QA, and infrastructure teams to define requirements and deliver end-to-end solutions.

· Drive the adoption of CI/CD pipelines for SQL deployments using GitLab or similar tools.

· Use VS Code, SSMS, and Visual Studio for scalable development and debugging.

· Enforce Git workflows (e.g., feature branching, pull requests) and conduct peer code reviews.

· Serve as a mentor to junior engineers and promote documentation best practices.

· Champion the use of AI-assisted tooling (e.g., Copilot, ChatGPT) to drive efficiency, automation, and quality in development.

We are a company committed to creating inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity employer that believes everyone matters.
