Summary

Job Description

We are seeking a Senior DB2 Database Performance Engineer with deep expertise in DB2 database development, SQL performance tuning, and stored procedure optimization. This is not a traditional DB2 DBA/database maintenance role. We are looking for a hands-on Data Engineer/Database Developer who can analyze, optimize, and modernize DB2 database applications while leveraging Snowflake for cloud data initiatives.

Required Skills

  • 10+ years of hands-on experience with IBM DB2 database development.
  • Strong expertise in DB2 SQL performance tuning, query optimization, and execution plan analysis.
  • Extensive experience developing, debugging, and refactoring DB2 SQL PL stored procedures.
  • Ability to troubleshoot database performance issues with a DBA mindset, while remaining focused on application/database development.
  • Experience identifying database logic that can be modernized and migrated from stored procedures into application code.
  • Good experience with Snowflake, including Snowflake SQL, virtual warehouses, and query performance optimization.
  • 4+ years of Scala development experience, preferably rewriting or modernizing database business logic.
  • Strong SQL, data modeling, and ETL/data engineering experience.
  • Experience working in Agile environments.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience migrating workloads from DB2 to Snowflake.
  • Experience with Python, Spark, or other modern data engineering technologies.
  • Banking or Financial Services experience is a plus.

Key Responsibilities

  • Analyze and optimize complex DB2 SQL queries and database performance.
  • Develop, enhance, and refactor DB2 stored procedures and SQL PL code.
  • Perform root cause analysis for SQL performance bottlenecks.
  • Identify opportunities to move business logic from stored procedures into Scala-based services.
  • Optimize Snowflake SQL and warehouse performance.
  • Collaborate with application developers, architects, and DBAs to modernize legacy database applications.
  • Ensure high-performance, scalable, and maintainable database solutions.
