- Diagnosing and resolving root-cause issues related to database platforms and their integrations.
- Leveraging Generative AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, ChatGPT) to accelerate code generation, documentation, and development workflows - while applying sound judgment around data sensitivity and AI usage boundaries.
- Creating and maintaining documentation for databases and data processes to ensure team continuity and knowledge sharing.
What You Bring- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Technology, or a related field - or equivalent hands-on experience.
- Advanced SQL knowledge and experience with relational databases, query authoring, and database object creation.
- Strong proficiency in Python for data engineering and automation tasks.
