About the Role
We are recruiting an experienced SQL Developer to join a collaborative technical team responsible for maintaining and enhancing business‑critical transactional systems.
This role is suited to someone who enjoys hands‑on T‑SQL development and working directly within large, established SQL Server databases. The focus is on database logic, performance, and stability — not analytics, dashboards, or BI tooling.
You’ll be working primarily within the database layer, supporting and improving existing functionality, troubleshooting production issues, and ensuring reliable performance in a live environment.
Key Responsibilities
* Develop, maintain, and enhance T‑SQL stored procedures, views, and functions
* Work confidently within large, legacy SQL Server codebases
* Investigate and resolve production database issues and data anomalies
* Analyse and improve query and stored procedure performance
* Review execution plans and implement appropriate indexing strategies
* Safely enhance existing database logic while maintaining data integrity and system stability
* Support database‑driven business processes in transactional systems
* Collaborate with internal teams to understand requirements and translate them into effective SQL solutions
* Document changes and contribute to ongoing system improvement
