About you:

You're obsessed with data accuracy and data health — “close enough” isn't good enough. You're a big-picture thinker who wants to help shape where our data infrastructure goes next, a collaborative team player who connects easily with both technical and business teams, and someone who understands the business, not just the systems behind it.

Responsibilities & Duties:

• Maintain the performance, accuracy, and availability of our SQL Server databases.
• Design data architecture and data mapping for system changes, migrations, and integrations (for CRM, ERP, etc.)
• Build deep knowledge of our data — where it lives, how it's structured, and how it moves across systems and formats (CSV, JSON, XML, EDI, APIs, etc.).
• Support accurate data sharing between our platforms, tools, and business partners, using various transfer methods.
• Act as a data steward: define, document, and uphold data quality and ownership standards.
• Ensure data handling meets privacy and compliance requirements.
• Write and optimize complex T-SQL (stored procedures, functions, indexing, query plans).
• Maintain high-availability and disaster recovery strategies, including backups and failovers.
• Build and monitor data quality checks and pipeline orchestration across systems.
• Set up monitoring/alerting for database and pipeline performance.
• Support CDP and identity resolution initiatives.
• Maintain database security controls (access, encryption, auditing) and basic automation scripting).
• Document configurations, data flows, mappings, and procedures.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in a related field.
• 5+ years in a DBA or data architecture/engineering role.
• Strong SQL Server experience and advanced T-SQL/query optimization skills.
• Experience with data mapping across system migrations or integrations.
• Experience with CRM, ERP, and e-commerce data.
• Understanding of data stewardship, governance, and privacy/compliance basics.
• Experience with HA/DR and database security fundamentals.
• Strong communicator, able to bridge technical and business audiences.

Assets:

• Experience with PostgreSQL, Azure SQL, Snowflake, or Databricks.
• Pipeline orchestration tools (SSIS, ADF, Airflow, dbt, or similar).
• Awareness of cross-border privacy rules (e.g., GDPR, Quebec's Law 25).
• Exposure to CI/CD for database changes (Flyway, Liquibase, Azure DevOps).
