· 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.

Qualifications
· 5-8+ years of experience with SQL Server, T-SQL, SSIS, and stored procedure development.
· Proven expertise in performance tuning and data modeling.
· Strong proficiency with VS Code, SSMS, Visual Studio, Git/GitLab, and Agile delivery.
· Experience leading delivery of large-scale SQL/ETL solutions from requirements to deployment.
· Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, unit testing frameworks (e.g., tSQLt), and AI-driven coding tools.
· Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Systems, or related discipline.
· Excellent communication, leadership, and mentoring abilities.

Bonus Experience
· Cloud platform experience (Azure SQL, AWS RDS, etc.)
· Dimensional modeling, OLAP/BI reporting backends
· Knowledge of data privacy regulations (HIPAA, GDPR)
