SQL Application Developer

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
