Entry-level SQl Server Developer

About the Role

 

You have one or two in-depth, real-world experiences working with an enterprise RDBMS (SQL Server is ideal), and know that you excel at SQL data structures. Plain-vanilla enterprise application building leaves you wanting more, though—you’re curious about large or complex data (financial, accounting, or similar), flexible data structures, and extensibility. You’re self-motivated, enjoy hands-on work, and want your next career step to take you in a direction with tougher challenges, pushing the limits of metadata-driven structures that feed a dynamic multi-tier architecture.

  • Participate in the complete SDLC, including requirements/specifications, development, testing/QA, and delivery/support

  • Work and grow aggressively and with independence as part of an established dev team with combined decades of experience building best-in-class enterprise software

 

Skills & Requirements:

  • Excellent understanding of database fundamentals: what the rules are, and when to break them

  • Experience with or deep curiosity for complex data structures, such as recursive tables and , dynamic SQL operations, complex metadata
