Edinburgh | £500 - £550 | Contract

Published: 15.03.23 Ref: 41845_1678902218

SQL Developer - 3 Months - Outside IR35

SQL Developer required by a leading tech company for an initial 3-month contract. It's fully remote, outside IR35, and will likely extend long term due to the amount of work they have in the pipeline.

The Role:

You will be part of a rapidly growing data team helping to deliver their leading data platform that is being used to help drive key decision making in renewable energy and its use around the world - tech for good you could say!

As a SQL Developer, you will be responsible for various tasks but mainly focused around advice on indexes and poor query plans including columnstore/clustered columnstore and spotting performance bottlenecks in the system and offering advice on potential improvements to the architecture. The main tools and skills you will be using day to day are:

** In-depth Microsoft SQL Server experience (ideally the latest versions)

** Cloud experience with AWS, specifically with RDS

** Data Warehousing

** PostgreSQL

** Performance tuning and design experience

** Aurora or Redshift experience would be a nice bonus

You:

Our customer is looking for someone to come in who is well versed with the above tools / technologies, and they need someone who understands MS SQL Server and AWS and is willing to roll their sleeves up as this project is critical for them.

As a Senior member of the team, they expect you to pick up the work pretty quickly, work closely with the development team (.NET/C#) and help build upon an already industry leading product.

Rate / Process:

This is an urgent role which is based in Edinburgh City Centre but is fully remote.

The interview process will include a short video call with the Head of Engineering & then a final meeting with other members of the team.

We can organise both meetings within a couple of days as this is an absolute priority across the entire business.

Rate-wise, we have between £500 - £550 per day + VAT depending on experience and availability.

If this sounds interesting and relevant to you at this time, please apply straight away and call Andy Weir at Cathcart Technology.

Candidates

THE BEST test recruiter I’ve had the pleasure of working with, from start to finish. She provided me with training resources and is an organiser and participant in testing events. She really has taken the time to fully understand the testing principles.

Test Analyst – Aberdeen

Never have a I met a recruiter like him, who embeds himself in the community so thoroughly in a way that could only be genuine. From our conversations, he has shown an understanding of the industry I would expect from a local CTO.

MI Analyst – Bolton

It was a breath of fresh air – She is professional and approachable and will be there to help you every step of the way. Other recruiters give you the hard sell and the ‘best friend routine’ to get you on board and then just leave you guessing, but not here… She’s the real deal

Solutions Architect – Glasgow

Equal parts friendly and professional, never once coming across as simply going through the motions and made the whole thing as painless as possible for all parties

Software Developer – Glasgow

He goes out of his way to ensure you are prepared for your interview and I particularly appreciated his professional no nonsense approach to working with me to find a new position.

Infrastructure Architect – Glasgow

Absolutely fantastic throughout my interview process, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! First of all, he is an absolutely brilliant communicator and extremely reliable. On top of all of his brilliant recruitment skills, it was amazing to see how genuinely excited he was for me when I received my offer. This truly conveyed to me how much he cares about his clients.

Software Engineer – Edinburgh

I have had dealings with the majority of recruitment agencies in this country and beyond. He really stands out from the crowd and the IT industry would benefit from more people like him.

Software Developer – Glasgow

A friend looking after me, that’s how I felt. His friendly character made the whole process way easier and enjoyable, he also managed to get me one of the most interesting work opportunities. I’m really glad our paths have crossed.

Software Engineer - Edinburgh

I can say with total sincerity I’ve never dealt with a more professional, knowledgeable and personable recruitment firm in fifteen years of contracting. They helped my wife and I relocate to Edinburgh with our five month old son and it’s in no small part to their tips and recommendations that we’ve settled in so quickly.

Transformation Consultant – Leeds

She was friendly, communicative and informative, talked me through the process and gave me good advice at every stage.

Software Engineer – Manchester

He stood out in a world of poorly informed, unreliable and frankly annoying recruiters as a breath of fresh air.

Data Scientist – Manchester

I’ve never written a recommendation for a recruiter before, so it must show how impressed I am!

Software Developer – Northampton

He is the most honest, thorough and experienced recruitment consultant I have ever dealt with. If he can’t help you, he’ll tell you rather than spinning a yarn and putting you forward for jobs that aren’t suitable.

Technical Author – Edinburgh

Compared to other recruiters I have worked with she seemed genuinely interested in helping me with my job search rather than just fulfilling quotas.

Software Developer – Lincoln

She even was able to help get a firmer offer as I was offered two roles on the same day. I felt she went over and above to get the best offer she could for me without selling myself short.

QA Engineer – Glasgow
