Open to learn new database technologies especially Column-oriented databases.
Expertise in reporting options (SQL reports, PowerBI, etc.).
Strong understanding of big data and data warehouse concepts and technologies.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

Willingness to work extended hours and weekends as needed (to respond to network and server errors after hours).
