Job description

Overview

Hi there! We’re looking for a hands-on SQL Developer with 2–3 years of experience to join our Data team. You’ll help build and maintain reliable data pipelines, optimize complex T SQL, and turn raw operational data into accurate, actionable insights for our contact centre and collections lines of business.

If you’ve worked with high volume BPO / collections datasets, care about performance and data quality, and enjoy partnering with stakeholders to solve problems fast, we’d love to meet you.

Skills & Knowledge

  • Design & Develop SQL Solutions : Write clean, well-documented T SQL (stored procedures, functions, views, triggers) for data processing and reporting.
  • ETL / Data Pipelines : Build and maintain ingestion and transformation jobs (e.g., SSIS, SQL Agent jobs, Azure Data Factory advantageous).
  • Performance Tuning : Analyze execution plans, index strategies, and query patterns to improve reliability and speed.
  • Data Quality & Governance : Implement validation, reconciliation, lineage, and auditing aligned to POPIA and internal controls.
  • Operational Support : Monitor daily loads, troubleshoot failures, and resolve data issues with urgency and root cause mindset.
  • Reporting Enablement : Prepare curated tables / views for BI (e.g., Power BI) and ensure semantic consistency across teams.
  • Collaboration : Work closely with Ops, Finance, and Client Services to understand requirements and deliver pragmatic solutions.

Qualifications

  • 2–3 years in an SQL Developer / Data Engineer role with Microsoft SQL Server (2016+ preferred).
  • Strong T-SQL skills : complex joins, window functions, CTEs, pivots, dynamic SQL, error handling.
  • Experience creating and optimizing stored procedures, views, functions, and indexes.
  • Working knowledge of ETL (SSIS or equivalent) and scheduling (SQL Agent).
  • Solid understanding of data modelling (OLTP vs. reporting), normalization / denormalization, and query optimization.
  • Comfortable with source control (Git) and basic CI / CD concepts.
  • Attention to detail, ownership mindset, and clear communication with non-technical stakeholders.

    • The ideal candidate should possess

  • Industry experience in BPO / Contact Centre / Debt Collections (dialer data, agent performance, campaigns, dispositions, promise-to-pay, etc.).
  • Exposure to Azure SQL / Azure Data Factory / Synapse.
  • Familiarity with Power BI data modelling and DAX fundamentals.
  • Experience with data privacy & compliance (POPIA / GDPR) and secure data handling.
  • Conduct weekly room audits and ensure training facilities are ready
