You will develop scripts, services, and utilities using Python, Perl, or Java to automate provisioning, access management, and schema changes while migrating legacy workflows into modern API-driven solutions. Additionally, you will support application teams with SQL reviews, schema design, and the implementation of performance guardrails.

  • Create scripts and utilities using Python, Perl, or Java to automate operational workflows.
  • Migrate legacy scripts and manual processes into scalable, service-based, or API-driven solutions.
  • Provide schema design support and SQL reviews to assist application teams with development needs.
  • Implement guardrails and validations to ensure performance, reliability, and security across database platforms.
  • Perform incident analysis and develop code fixes or tooling enhancements to prevent recurring issues.
  • Improve platform observability through the integration of logging and monitoring tools.

What we're looking for

  • Experience with one or more programming languages such as Python, Perl, or Java.
  • Basic understanding of relational database concepts including tables, indexes, transactions, and SQL.
  • Familiarity with software development fundamentals including version control, code reviews, and testing.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and willingness to learn enterprise database platforms and tooling.
  • Ability to work effectively in a team-based, large-scale technology environment.
  • Exposure to database platforms such as SQL Server, Snowflake, or similar enterprise databases (preferred).
  • Experience supporting or maintaining internal tools, scripts, or shared libraries (preferred).
  • Familiarity with APIs, automation frameworks, or CI/CD pipelines (preferred).
