Conversion Developer - Municipal Justice

Description

Tyler Technologies is seeking a SQL Conversion Developer to join our agile, fun, fast-paced, stable team. The SQL Conversion Developer converts client data into Tyler's Municipal Justice software using SQL to meet our clients’ business needs. Simply put, we migrate data from one source system to another. Conversion team members fill an important role in a software solution because they are one of the first contacts a new client will interact with and set the stage in the software for years to come.

We write SQL code. Yes, raw T-SQL code. In scripts, in stored procedures...we write SQL in a Microsoft SQL Server environment. We are not a drag and drop shop using SSIS. We are a team of people who love to problem solve with SQL scripts. That's certainly not the only thing we do, but it is a fundamental part of it.

We have some great tools we use to sequence and run the SQL we write. We are always looking to innovate and make our tools and processes more efficient. That’s just how we do things here.

This role involves data analysis — finding where the data fits into our database structure, and problem solving - this client stores their financials rolled up and we need a more granular breakdown.

We are looking for experienced SQL developers who really love to code in SQL to join a very
collaborative team. You'll have some very experienced folks around you and some newer folks, all of whom are learning together. No one knows everything, so we lean on each other. A lot. We share scripts, we do code reviews to help, and we have active mentoring happening every day.

We are part of something bigger than ourselves at Tyler. We are making government more effective and efficient in how they run their community systems.

Responsibilities

• Analyze data on each project, piecing together data puzzles, asking discerning questions, and working with colleagues and clients to get answers.
