This role focuses on building efficient schemas, stored procedures, functions, triggers, and integration components to ensure reliable data processing, strong performance, and secure data handling. Working closely with application developers, BI teams, and database administrators, the Database Developer helps ensure that data layers are robust, scalable, and aligned with banking-grade security and operational requirements.

Responsibilities

Database Design & Development

· Design and develop relational database schemas, tables, views, and constraints aligned to business requirements and application architecture.

· Develop and maintain database objects such as stored procedures, functions, triggers, and packages to support application workflows and integrations.

· Ensure database designs support scalability, maintainability, and standardized naming/versioning practices.

Query Optimization & Performance Tuning

· Write and optimize complex SQL queries for high performance and reliability.

· Identify bottlenecks, improve indexing strategies, and tune database procedures to reduce latency and resource consumption.

· Support performance testing and capacity planning by analyzing query execution plans and database metrics.

Data Integration Components

· Build and maintain database integration components such as ETL/ELT routines, data synchronization jobs, and scheduled tasks.

· Support integration with applications and systems through data services, views, staging tables, and database-side validation logic.

· Ensure data consistency across systems through controlled transformations, reconciliation logic, and audit trails.

Data Quality, Security & Compliance

· Implement data validation and integrity controls to ensure data accuracy, completeness, and consistency.

· Apply secure database development practices to prevent risks such as injection vulnerabilities, privilege misuse, and improper data exposure.

· Support compliance requirements and internal controls by enabling audit logs, data access controls, and traceable processing logic where required.

Collaboration & Support

· Work closely with Full Stack Developers and application teams to define data contracts, optimize database interactions, and support new feature delivery.

· Coordinate with Database Administrators on deployments, migrations, performance changes, and production readiness.

· Provide second-level support for database-related production issues, including troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and fixes.

Documentation & Continuous Improvement

· Document schemas, procedures, integration logic, and data flows to support maintainability and operational continuity.

· Contribute to standards, best practices, and reusable database templates/patterns for the development team.

· Stay updated on database development tools and approaches and recommend improvements for efficiency and reliability.
