Skills & Knowledge:

• Design & Develop SQL Solutions: Write clean, well-documented T SQL (stored procedures, functions, views, triggers) for data processing and reporting.

• ETL / Data Pipelines: Build and maintain ingestion and transformation jobs (e.g., SSIS, SQL Agent jobs, Azure Data Factory advantageous).

• Performance Tuning: Analyze execution plans, index strategies, and query patterns to improve reliability and speed.

• Data Quality & Governance: Implement validation, reconciliation, lineage, and auditing aligned to POPIA and internal controls.

• Reporting Enablement: Prepare curated tables/views for BI (e.g., Power BI) and ensure semantic consistency across teams.

• Collaboration: Work closely with Ops, Finance, and Client Services to understand requirements and deliver pragmatic solutions.

Qualifications:

• Solid understanding of data modelling (OLTP vs. reporting), normalization/denormalization, and query optimization.

• Comfortable with source control (Git) and basic CI/CD concepts.

• Attention to detail, ownership mindset, and clear communication with non-technical stakeholders.

The ideal candidate should possess:

• Industry experience in BPO / Contact Centre / Debt Collections (dialer data, agent performance, campaigns, dispositions, promise-to-pay, etc.).

• Exposure to Azure SQL / Azure Data Factory / Synapse.
