• Design, develop, and optimize stored procedures, functions, views, and triggers in SQL Server
• Own database schema design, migrations, and deployments for a multi-tenant SaaS application
• Build and maintain T-SQL reporting data warehouses - aggregation logic and scheduled jobs
• Performance tune slow queries - execution plan analysis, index strategy, statistics management, blocking/deadlock resolution
• Write operational data scripts for migrations, corrections, and bulk operations
• Collaborate with .NET developers to design efficient data access patterns (Entity Framework 6 and EF Core)
• Support data flows for third-party integrations - staging tables, validation, reconciliation

• Expert-level T-SQL - complex stored procedures, CTEs, window functions, dynamic SQL, temp tables, cursor optimization
• Performance tuning - execution plans, index design, Query Store, statistics, concurrency management
• Database design - normalization, denormalization for reporting, multi-tenant schema patterns
• SSDT / SQL Server Data Tools - database projects, schema compare, DACPAC deployments
• Entity Framework 6 or EF Core - understanding ORM-generated SQL, N+1 detection, migrations
• Git-based workflow - pull requests, code review for SQL, branching strategies
• Strong debugging skills - tracing data flow from application through ORM to stored procedures

Good-to-Have

• Data warehousing - star/snowflake schemas, reporting aggregation
• C# / .NET basics - ability to read service/repository code and understand data access layer patterns
• Healthcare domain - HL7, clinical data models, HIPAA compliance
• Azure Pipelines or Jenkins for database CI/CD
• AWS services (Lambda, S3, SQS) for data integration scenarios
• MongoDB (document store syncing to SQL Server)
