What you'll need to succeed
Expert‑level SQL Server development and optimisation experience.
Experience working in environments with significant legacy components.
Strong AWS knowledge (Lambda, Amazon S3, API Gateway; certifications beneficial).
Experienced with programming languages such as Python or C#.
Background in financial services or data‑heavy platforms with experience with legacy/ modern platforms.
Solid mathematical or quantitative background would be beneficial for analytics‑focused work.
What you'll get in return
Flexible working options available.
