·      Solve real-world challenges related to locks, blocking, deadlocks and transaction isolation

·      Collaborate with application engineers to build reliable, high-performance data access layers

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for true SQL engineers — people who think in execution flow, logic and data behavior rather than just syntax.

You should have:

·      4+ years of deep hands-on experience with Microsoft SQL Server & T-SQL

·      Strong expertise in:

o  Stored Procedures (with Dynamic SQL)

o  Views

o  Functions

o  Triggers

·      Strong experience with:

o  Dynamic SQL best practices and secure execution patterns

o  Indexing strategies and query plan optimization

o  Handling parameter sniffing and plan instability

·      Strong knowledge of:

o  Temp tables vs table variables

o  Cardinality estimation

o  Cost-based optimization concepts

Nice to Have

·      Exposure to GenAI data pipelines or analytical architectures

·      Exposure to Graph, Vector and No SQL Databases

How We Work

·      We write production-grade T-SQL

·      We value performance, clarity, and correctness

·      We invest heavily in query readability and maintainability

·      Engineering quality is non-negotiable
