JOBSEARCHER

SQL Developer

  • 5+ years of hands-on Microsoft SQL Server and T-SQL development experience.
  • *Advanced set-based T-SQL. *Fluency with window functions (ROW_NUMBER, RANK, DENSE_RANK), common table expressions, deduplication and latest-record-per-key patterns, and conditional aggregation. Candidates should expect a hands-on exercise in this area – see the selection process below.
  • *SQL Server Agent – *building, scheduling, monitoring and troubleshooting job chains in a production environment.
  • *SSIS – *developing and maintaining packages, including debugging failures in deployed packages.
  • *Azure Databricks – *demonstrable hands-on experience. Notebooks, jobs and workflows, Spark SQL and/or PySpark, and Delta Lake. This is a firm requirement, not a nice-to-have.
  • *MuleSoft – *hands-on development of API integrations, including Mule flows, DataWeave transformations, error handling, deployment, and production monitoring.
  • *AI-assisted development ("vibe coding"). *Demonstrated productive use of agentic coding tools such as Claude Code, Databricks Genie, OpenRouter, or Cursor to write, refactor, troubleshoot and document code – together with the engineering judgment to review, test and validate AI-generated output before it reaches production. Given how much of this role involves working inside unfamiliar inherited code, we regard this as a genuine productivity multiplier and we will ask candidates how they use these tools.
  • *Performance tuning – *execution plan analysis, index design, statistics maintenance, and diagnosing queries that regress in production.
  • *Production support discipline – *working incidents to resolution against service-level expectations, and communicating clearly while an issue is open.
  • Professional written and spoken English sufficient to explain a technical problem, its cause and its business impact to a non-technical stakeholder such as a dean or department head.
  • *Ability to work 100% on site in Irvine, California during standard Pacific business hours. *Remote work is not available for this position.
