Database Engineer

Develop, construct, test and maintain architectures such as databases and large-scale processing systems

Job Summary

We're looking for a Database Developer to own and evolve the data layer of a cloud-hosted healthcare SaaS platform. You'll design and optimize stored procedures, build reporting pipelines, tune performance in a high-concurrency environment, and collaborate with application developers on data access patterns — while also helping migrate legacy T-SQL logic into modern .NET services.

What You'll Do

• Design, develop, and optimize stored procedures, functions, views, and triggers in SQL Server

• Own database schema design, migrations, and deployments for a multi-tenant SaaS application

• Build and maintain T-SQL reporting data warehouses — aggregation logic and scheduled jobs

• Performance tune slow queries — execution plan analysis, index strategy, statistics management, blocking/deadlock resolution

• Write operational data scripts for migrations, corrections, and bulk operations

• Collaborate with .NET developers to design efficient data access patterns (Entity Framework 6 and EF Core)

• Support data flows for third-party integrations — staging tables, validation, reconciliation

• Implement audit trails, row-level security, and compliance controls for healthcare (HIPAA/PHI) data

• Participate in CI/CD for database changes — DACPAC deployments, scripted migrations, pull request reviews

Must-Have

Good-to-Have

• Data warehousing — star/snowflake schemas, reporting aggregation

• C# / .NET basics — ability to read service/repository code and understand data access layer patterns

• Healthcare domain — HL7, clinical data models, HIPAA compliance

• Azure Pipelines or Jenkins for database CI/CD

• AWS services (Lambda, S3, SQS) for data integration scenarios

• MongoDB (document store syncing to SQL Server)

• Experience migrating stored procedure logic into application-layer code (DDD, Clean Architecture)

• Terraform for infrastructure provisioning
