  • collaborate on and document database standards, naming conventions, dictionaries, and technical design artifacts.
  • Assist with backup, recovery, and disaster recovery planning to protect business-critical data assets.
  • Collaborate with security, compliance, and engineering partners to ensure proper access controls and secure handling of sensitive information.
  • Participate in release planning, testing, and production support for database changes and deployments.
  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of database architecture, development practices, and data governance processes.
  • Perform other related duties as assigned.
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Systems, Data Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 3-5 years of experience in database engineering, database design, data architecture, or a similar technical role.
  • Strong proficiency in SQL and experience designing relational database structures.
  • Experience with data modeling concepts for transactional and analytical systems.
  • Hands-on experience with database performance tuning, indexing strategies, query optimization, and troubleshooting.
  • Knowledge of database security, backup and recovery practices, and change management.
  • Experience supporting ETL/ELT processes, data migrations, or system integrations.
  • Ability to document technical designs clearly and communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and attention to detail.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and work effectively in a collaborative team environment.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience working in financial services, lending, fintech, or other regulated environments.
  • Familiarity with cloud-based data platforms and modern data warehousing concepts.
  • Experience with Microsoft SQL Server, or similar enterprise database platforms.
  • Exposure to Azure DevOps, Jira, or similar work management tools.
  • Experience supporting reporting, analytics, or business intelligence initiatives.
  • Knowledge of data governance, audit readiness, and sensitive data handling best practices.
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced environment with evolving business priorities.
What We Value
  • Practical problem-solvers who build scalable solutions and follow through on details.
  • Professionals who communicate clearly, collaborate well, and take ownership of outcomes.
  • Team members who value data quality, thoughtful design, and continuous improvement.
  • People who can balance speed, accuracy, and security in a business-critical environment.
What We Offer
  • 100% Employer Paid Medical for employee and whole family, including the Mayo Clinic.
  • 401(k)/Roth plan with 4% match and immediate vesting.
  • Dental, vision, life, and short- and long-term disability insurance.
  • Student loan repayment assistance and tuition reimbursement.
  • Stocked kitchens, and a collaborative team environment.
  • Opportunity to contribute to a fast-growing company with meaningful impact.

This is a primarily onsite role with genuine flexibility. Core collaboration hours are 10 AM - 3 PM; manage your full schedule around that. Need a morning at home for an appointment? Handle it. We don't track hours or micromanage - we hire professionals and treat them accordingly. We encourage experimentation, learning from mistakes, and continuous improvement across teams.
