Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement

• Support UAT, investigate defects, and resolve logic issues quickly.
• Produce runbooks, knowledge‑transfer materials, and follow governance/security standards.

Required Skills & Experience:

• Advanced SQL development experience (T‑SQL, PL/SQL, or equivalent) with strong performance‑tuning skills.
• Strong data modelling knowledge (star/snowflake schemas, indexing strategies, optimisation).
