With full executive support and the resources of a Fortune 500 parent, this newly formed department is building a mobile-first product from scratch.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support data-driven applications.

Create custom reports and analyze system data to support decision-making.

Document standards, processes, and training materials for team enablement.

What You Bring

10+ years of experience with database technologies (MSSQL, Postgres, Oracle).

5+ years working with cloud-native databases (AWS, GCP, Azure).

Experience with Microsoft SQL, MySQL, Oracle, and Power BI.

Strong skills in performance tuning, query optimization, and automation.

Advanced knowledge of Crystal Reports, Excel, and Access.

Effective communication, problem-solving, and project management skills.

Bonus : Familiarity with real estate-related systems and data environments.
