CMap is a fast-growing software company helping project-based businesses win, deliver, and manage work… profitably.
At our core, we’re a software company. That that means engineering excellence matters to us. We’re focused on building clean, scalable, high-performing systems that solve real problems for our users.
Our engineering team is trusted to make smart technical decisions, contribute to product thinking, and continuously raise the bar. We invest in quality, not just speed, and we create space for learning, innovation, and doing things the right way.
We’re proud of our product and even prouder of our people. Collaboration, openness, and input from across the business drive both our culture and our success. We keep things friendly and informal, but we’re serious about building something great together.
What we’re looking for:
As our new Senior SQL Developer, you’ll play a key role in building and maintaining the data backbone of the CMap platform. You’ll take ownership of the design, optimisation, and performance of our databases and SQL processes — ensuring reliable, scalable data flows that support both our product features and internal reporting needs. Working closely with Engineering, Product, and stakeholders across the business, you’ll help shape how we manage, structure, and deliver data.
You will:
* Design, develop, and maintain SQL queries, stored procedures, views, and data pipelines
* Optimise database performance, reliability, and scalability across our core systems
* Collaborate with Engineering and Product teams to translate business needs into effective data models and solutions
* Ensure data quality and integrity across environments, with a focus on clean, consistent, and accessible data
* Contribute to database design and architecture decisions
* Support data availability and performance monitoring in production environments
* Assist in the evolution of our data governance, backup, and disaster recovery practices
* Participate in code reviews and share knowledge around SQL best practices
What you will need to succeed:
* 3+ years of experience in SQL development or database engineering
* Advanced SQL skills, ideally with Microsoft SQL Server (T-SQL)
* Experience with database performance tuning and query optimisation
* Understanding of relational database design and data modelling
* Familiarity with source control (e.g. Git) and CI/CD for database changes
* Ability to work independently and collaborate cross-functionally with Product and Engineering
* Strong communication skills and attention to detail
What we offer:
* Private medical & dental insurance: Supporting your health and wellbeing with access to private care.
* Life assurance: Providing extra financial security for you and your loved ones.
* Help@Hand: 24/7 support for your health and wellbeing.
* Enhanced parental leave: Offering time and support when it matters most.
* Reward Gateway: Access to discounts on a wide range of everyday purchases.
* Team outings and events: Regular chances to connect and unwind.
* Manchester city-centre office: A modern WeWork space with great facilities and free barista coffee.
Research has shown that people don’t always apply for roles if they don’t have all the required skills. If you believe you are the right fit and can be successful in this role, we are keen to meet you and encourage you to apply.
We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status or disability status.
