Continuously enhance efficiency by replacing manual processes with automation. Required Skills: Proficient in SQL Server, including query performance, indexing, and data modeling. Experience handling JSON in SQL Server and managing hybrid data models. Experience with PowerShell or similar scripting languages for automation purposes. Ability to work across multiple systems, including databases, APIs, and services. Proven ability to deliver effective solutions in a timely manner. Preferred Skills: Background in smaller teams with end-to-end system ownership. Experience in complex application environments rather than isolated reporting or analytics settings.

Python experience and familiarity with APIs and integrations. Exposure to LLMs like OpenAI and Claude. Experience developing internal tools or automation frameworks.
