- Maintain, stabilize, and selectively refactor long-established database and reporting logic
- Monitor production environments, perform root-cause analysis, and document bug fixes and workarounds
- Perform technical assessments of existing databases and identify users, dependencies, data flows, interfaces, loading jobs, reports, and semantic models
- Evaluate which database objects and solutions should be maintained, migrated, consolidated, archived, or retired
- Prepare and support controlled database decommissioning activities, including technical checks, documentation, and rollback options
- Support data and logic migrations from RepSaS into agreed target environments
- Maintain and troubleshoot existing Power BI reports and datasets
- Maintain and optimize SSAS Tabular Models, including relationships, measures, processing, and DAX logic
- Validate KPIs, data quality, and functional and technical consistency across reporting solutions
- Analyze report and data dependencies to support migration and retirement decisions
- Document data flows, database objects, interfaces, dependencies, and retirement activities
- Ensure technical knowledge is captured and transferred within the team, particularly for legacy components with limited documentation
What You'll Bring Along
- Several years of hands-on experience developing and supporting Microsoft SQL Server and BI solutions
- Expert-level knowledge of Microsoft SQL Server and SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
- Expert-level T-SQL, including complex queries, Stored Procedures, Views, Functions, joins, and troubleshooting
- Strong experience with SQL performance tuning, including execution plans, indexes, query performance analysis, blocking, and resource-intensive queries
- Strong hands-on experience with SSIS and ETL, including maintenance and troubleshooting of existing data loading and transformation pipelines
- Strong experience with SSAS Tabular Models, including semantic models, relationships, measures, processing, and troubleshooting
- Strong experience with Power BI, including reports, datasets, data models, DAX, refresh processes, and permissions
- Strong understanding of relational and dimensional data modeling
- Strong monitoring, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis capabilities in production environments
- Experience with data lineage and dependency analysis, including tracing sources, targets, jobs, interfaces, and data consumers
- Experience with Git and GitLab for version control, change traceability, and team collaboration
- Experience with SQL Server Agent and job scheduling
- Good knowledge of DAX and existing KPI and measure logic
- Basic scripting and automation experience with PowerShell
- Understanding of CI/CD processes for traceable builds, deployments, and technical quality assurance
- Strong technical documentation skills, particularly related to data flows, dependencies, interfaces, and database retirement activities
