• Take ownership of database performance, including schema design, query optimisation, indexing strategies, and data integrity.
• Manage and support data processes such as imports, exports, transformation, and reconciliation across multiple systems.
• Contribute across the full development lifecycle, including design, development, testing, deployment, and ongoing support.
• Support release management, version control, and deployment processes to ensure controlled and stable system changes.
• Collaborate with internal teams and third-party suppliers to ensure systems and integrations operate effectively.
• Contribute to continuous improvement by modernising legacy systems and adopting best practice development approaches.
• Explore and implement opportunities to leverage AI and automation technologies to improve system efficiency, data usage and business processes, ensuring solutions are practical, secure and aligned with business needs.

About you:

• Solid understanding of the full development lifecycle, including support and continuous improvement.
• Proven expertise in SQL Server, including performance tuning, database design, and query optimisation.
• Experience with integrations, APIs, middleware (e.g. Connex or similar), and data flows (ETL, transformation, mapping).
• Ability to troubleshoot complex system and data issues across interconnected platforms.
• Good understanding of development best practices, including source control, testing, and structured troubleshooting.
• Exposure to business systems (ERP/CRM), cloud platforms, or web technologies is beneficial.
• Strong problem-solving mindset with a focus on improving systems and user experience.
• Well organised, able to manage priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Confident communicator who works collaboratively and contributes positively to team culture.
