Collaboration is key - you’ll partner with developers, analysts, and infrastructure teams to deliver seamless integrations, clean version control, and watertight documentation.

If you’re a pragmatic problem‑solver who loves troubleshooting, performance tuning, and pushing both on‑premises and cloud environments to their best, this is your next move.

Your toolkit:

• SQL Server (HA/DR, Always On, T‑SQL)
• ETL tools - SSIS, ADF, Informatica, or Talend
• GitHub/Bitbucket
• Bonus: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redgate Suite
