Lead Database Engineer - SQL

Must-Have Skills:
 

• Strong SQL expertise (PostgreSQL preferred) – critical for data validation and recovery tasks
   
• Solid backend experience (Node.js ecosystem) with ability to debug services and logs
   
• Experience in production support / incident handling (log analysis, data fixes, RCA)
   
• Hands-on approach with ability to write scripts and work on data correction
   

Important but Flexible:
 

• Experience with PostgreSQL / SQLite databases
   
• Familiarity with scripting for data processing
   

Good-to-Have:
 

• Exposure to Node frameworks (Express, NestJS)
   
• ORM tools like Sequelize
   
• Basic frontend knowledge (React/Ember) for minor bug fixes
   

Overall, we are looking for a strong hands-on senior backend engineer with production support and data handling experience, rather than a pure architect or people manager.
This prioritization should help widen the search while still ensuring the right fit for the role.
