Job Description

The Opportunity

Epiq is looking for a technical leader who is equally comfortable leading people and getting into the details of SQL.

As a Senior Solutions Architect Manager, you’ll lead managers and technical professionals responsible for complex, data-intensive solutions while remaining close enough to the technology to review T‑SQL, troubleshoot performance issues, guide technical decisions, and contribute hands‑on when needed.

This is not a pure people‑management position. We’re looking for an established technical manager with recent T‑SQL experience who can provide credible technical leadership while managing people, projects, priorities, and stakeholder relationships. David identified recent T‑SQL experience, management experience, and strong communication as the three primary requirements.

What You’ll Do

• Lead, coach, and develop managers and technical professionals responsible for complex data-driven solutions.
• Remain technically engaged by reviewing SQL/T‑SQL code, answering technical questions, troubleshooting issues, and contributing hands‑on when needed.
• Provide guidance around SQL Server development, query tuning, database performance, and solution design.
• Work with extremely large and complex datasets. The hiring manager described tables containing billions of rows and an overall data environment involving approximately a trillion or more rows.
• Lead large projects while balancing multiple priorities and deadlines.
• Partner with clients and their data experts to discuss technical topics such as incoming data, incomplete files, data rollups, and other data-processing considerations.
• Translate complex business requirements into practical technical solutions.
• Build strong partnerships across technical teams, business stakeholders, and leadership.
• Help your teams navigate periods of changing priorities and deadline-driven work.

What We’re Looking For

Required

• 5+ years of experience managing technical teams.
• Current or recent experience in an established technical management position.
• 10+ years of SQL Server and/or relational database experience.
• Advanced knowledge of SQL Server and recent hands‑on T‑SQL experience.
• Strong experience with query tuning and database performance optimization. The hiring manager identified performance experience as a must‑have.
• Experience working with large, complex datasets.
• Strong people-management and technical-leadership capabilities.
• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to technical and nontechnical audiences.
• Experience managing large projects and changing priorities.
• Comfort collaborating directly with clients and technical stakeholders.
• Based in the United States.

Nice to Have

• Experience working with data at significant scale, including datasets containing billions of records.
• Experience automating outgoing file transmissions and receiving/loading incoming files.
• Experience with C#, ASP.NET MVC, JavaScript, Angular, React, or related software-development technologies. A .NET background is helpful but is not required for the role.
• Legal Services or class‑action experience is beneficial but not required.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field preferred.

Why This Role Is Interesting

This is a strong opportunity for a seasoned SQL technical manager who doesn’t want to completely step away from the technology.

You’ll have the opportunity to lead experienced technical professionals while solving challenging database and data-processing problems at significant scale. The role combines people leadership, SQL expertise, technical problem-solving, project leadership, and client collaboration.
