About the Role We are looking for a highly skilled and self-driven Senior Data Engineer to take full ownership of our database architecture and operations. This is a WFO role that blends high-level database development, database administration (DBA), and customer consultation.

• Customer Consultation: Work directly with customers to understand their data needs. You will educate them on the "right way" to approach database solutions, guiding them away from quick fixes and toward long-term stability.
• Problem Solving: Proactively identify bottlenecks and resolve database issues before they impact the business.

Who You Are

• A Great Communicator: You can explain complex database concepts to non-technical stakeholders with clarity, patience, and high energy.
• Customer-Obsessed: You bring a positive attitude to every interaction. You aren’t just delivering a file; you are delivering a solution that helps the customer succeed.
• Results-Oriented: You take pride in delivering top-notch work consistently. You care about the quality of your code and the stability of the systems you manage.

Requirements

• Deep expertise in T-SQL and Schema design.
• Experience with performance tuning and query optimization.
