About the role
Join the Experts. Solve the Complex. Work with the Best.
At House of Brick, the services organization of Opscompass, we’re looking for a Senior SQL Server Consultant who’s more than just experienced — we’re looking for someone exceptional. This is a specialized role for professionals who live and breathe SQL Server. If you’ve built your own lab at home (virtualized or otherwise), stay up late diving into tech blogs, and enjoy both teaching others and learning from top talent — we want to hear from you.
We value humility, curiosity, and technical excellence. The ideal candidate can simplify complex technical challenges, bring clarity to client conversations, and approach every project with a mindset of service, not ego. You’ll work with customers of all sizes and across a variety of industries, solving some of the most intricate performance, architecture, and migration problems out there.
What You’ll Do
You’ll consult with clients that are using — or migrating to — Microsoft SQL Server across on-prem and cloud platforms. Responsibilities include:
- Assessing technical and business objectives
- Gathering requirements and system metrics
- Architecting and implementing SQL Server solutions
- Performance tuning and troubleshooting
- Documentation and reporting
- Health checks and system reviews for managed services customers
- Project-based advisory services
- Occasional pre-sales technical support
Technical Qualifications
We’re seeking someone with 10+ years of hands-on experience with SQL Server in production environments, including:
- SQL Server 2016 through the latest release
- High Availability/Disaster Recovery (Always On AGs, clustering, log shipping, replication)
- Backup and recovery strategies
- Performance tuning and optimization
- Installation, upgrades, and migrations
- T-SQL Development
- Windows Server administration
- Networking and virtualization (VMware, Nutanix)
- Storage architecture and monitoring
- Cloud experience (Azure/AWS/GCP) preferred
- SQL Server certifications and cloud certifications are a plus
Professional Qualities We Value
- Ability to work independently and within a high-performing team
- Strong attention to detail and documentation habits
- Proven consulting and customer service skills
- Excellent communication (written and verbal)
- Natural curiosity and ongoing desire to learn
- Ability to analyze and solve root causes, not just symptoms
- Comfortable juggling tasks across multiple environments
- Experience presenting findings and leading customer conversations
Additional Info
- Occasional travel to customer sites may be required
- Participation in a rotating 24/7 on-call support schedule is expected
- Must be currently authorized to work in the U.S. — no sponsorship available
- We do not accept unsolicited resumes from staffing or recruiting firms
Why House of Brick and Opscompass?
