Data Warehouse Lead / SQL Server Specialist

Business Intelligence Systems or its more common moniker — Data Warehouse, have become a common fixture in all modern corporations. However, while competitive aspirations have driven scores of companies to erect these behemoth data machineries, only some have succeeded in coaxing projected return on investments from them. While the pitfalls are many, a meticulously orchestrated data warehouse can be an information powerhouse that propels businesses past their competition.

Do you have a penchant for designing data integration processes and an uncanny knack to tame unruly databases? Are you an advocate of tried-and-true database policies and standards? Is exorcising performance bottlenecks and inefficient indexes your thing? And can you do all of this in a demanding, fast paced, large data warehouse setting?

Yes? Let's talk!
