• Ability to work onsite in Charlotte, NC approximately four days per month.
• Bonus: Epicor P21 ERP familiarity, Snowflake exposure, or experience in a smaller/mid‑sized technology environment.

Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and optimize SQL Server solutions that support core business operations, new business onboarding, and enterprise data movement.
• Build and support SSIS packages and SQL-based automation used to move data between SQL Server, files, ERP systems, third-party applications, and other data platforms.
• Write, review, and tune complex T‑SQL including stored procedures, views, tables, functions, CTEs, dynamic SQL, and set-based logic.
• Troubleshoot performance issues across queries, packages, reports, and production SQL workloads.
• Review SQL code and report queries from analysts, developers, and ERP teams before production release to ensure they are efficient and safe for the environment.
• Support future cloud data initiatives, including migration toward Azure Data Factory and cloud-based production processes.
• Assist with database design when new databases, tables, dimensions, or data structures need to be built.
• Participate in change meetings, deployments, implementations, and occasional after-hours production work when updates or interruptions cannot occur during business hours.
• Work independently in a lean environment where strong ownership, resourcefulness, and problem-solving are essential.
