Description:

We are seeking a SQL Application Developer to join a fast-paced development team responsible for building and maintaining backend database logic that directly supports customer-facing web applications. This role focuses on SQL Server development, including stored procedures, functions, and performance-optimized query design within a high-volume OLTP environment. This is a hands-on development role where engineers are expected to take ownership of their code from development through deployment, ensuring performance, stability, and reliability in production systems.

Key Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain SQL Server stored procedures, functions, and database logic

Support web-based applications through backend database development and optimization

Write efficient, high-performance SQL for high-volume transactional (OLTP) systems

Ensure code is optimized for speed, scalability, and production reliability

Troubleshoot and resolve performance issues in database queries and stored procedures

Collaborate with application developers as part of a sprint-based development team (Dev QA Deployment)

Take ownership of database code from development through production release

Work closely with team members to clarify requirements and deliver production-ready solutions

Participate in production support and issue resolution as needed

Required Qualifications

Strong experience with Microsoft SQL Server

Hands-on development of stored procedures, functions, and SQL-based application logic

Experience working in high-volume OLTP environments

Strong understanding of query performance tuning and optimization

Ability to work in a fast-paced agile/sprint development environment

Comfortable working with ambiguous requirements and asking clarifying questions

Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate within a development team

Demonstrated ability to take ownership of code from development through production

Preferred Qualifications

Experience supporting web applications with direct database dependencies

Familiarity with indexing strategies and database performance tuning

Experience working in Microsoft-based application stacks

Background in transactional systems with high-frequency usage

Experience working in small to mid-sized development teams with broad ownership responsibilities

Role Environment

Agile sprint-based development (Dev QA Deployment)

SQL Server is the primary database platform

Focus on performance-critical application databases (not DBA or reporting work)

Code changes require team agreement before production deployment

High emphasis on reliability and production stability

What Success Looks Like

Fast, reliable SQL code that supports production web applications

Minimal performance issues in production environments

Ability to quickly understand requirements and deliver working solutions

Strong collaboration with application developers and QA teams

Ownership mindset: developers are responsible for the code they write end-to-end
