SQL Developers

SQL Developers (2 Openings)

Engagement Overview

• Client: Walmart
• Team / Area: InfoSec, Research & Reporting
• Need: 2 SQL Developers
• Location: Bentonville, onsite 4-5 days
• Hours: Standard business hours
• Canidates must not need sponsorship now, or in the future
• Rate is 45/hr + 5/hr referral fee max

Project Overview:

• The team supports a long-standing eDiscovery/legal application used to provide data to areas such as global investigations and claims so they can research and manage litigation-related matters.
• The application has been in place for roughly 15 years, and some of the underlying hardware/infrastructure is reaching end of support or warranty. The team has already started modernizing the environment.
• The application pulls together data from several business areas, including merchandising, recruiting, employee/people data, and other business datasets.
• Data volumes can vary significantly, from relatively small datasets to very large datasets involving areas like sales and transactional data.
• The front end is a .NET application and is handled by an internal associate team.
• The biggest need is on the back end. Data is primarily stored and processed in SQL Server, with significant use of stored procedures.
• A sister team currently supports that environment but has limited bandwidth, which is driving the need for additional SQL development capacity.

Requirements

Core Requirements

• Strong hands-on SQL Server development experience.
• Strong T-SQL skills.
• Experience creating, modifying, and maintaining stored procedures.
• Comfortable working with stored procedures of medium to higher complexity, including combining multiple datasets and applying business logic.
• Strong experience using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
• Ability to troubleshoot and improve poorly performing SQL queries.
• Experience working with both smaller datasets and large transactional datasets.
• Comfortable joining an existing application environment and partnering with multiple development/support teams.
• Able to work onsite in Bentonville during standard business hours.

Nice to Have:

• Google BigQuery experience. Helpful, but SQL Server is clearly the stronger priority.
• Experience with Flyway or similar database version control/deployment tooling.
• Experience supporting or modernizing legacy applications and database environments.
• Experience with merchandising/catalog, employee/people, recruiting, sales, or other complex enterprise datasets.
• Previous Walmart or Sam's Club experience would be especially valuable because of familiarity with their data.
• Exposure to eDiscovery, legal, investigations, or claims-related data would also be relevant.
