• Strong SQL skills for optimization and procedures

• Experience with AI and agentic flows is a plus

• Code review and constructive feedback skills

• Testing experience across unit, integration, and automation

• Git version control and collaborative workflows

• Agile development experience

• Experience working with cloud based applications

• Bachelor's/Master's in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent

Who you are
You're a pragmatic developer who enjoys balancing today's needs with building for tomorrow. You think strategically about when to build custom solutions versus leveraging vendor capabilities, and you're not afraid to share your perspective with the team.

You care about code quality—writing clean, testable, well-documented code matters to you because you know others will work with it. You're genuinely collaborative, finding satisfaction in sharing knowledge and learning from your colleagues. When problems arise, you dig deep to understand the root causes, and you bring others along on that journey of discovery.
