Senior Systems Developer & Data Analyst

Project overview

We are seeking an independent senior technical specialist to provide systems development, data translation and analytical services on a specialist data programme.

The work involves discovering, extracting and validating data held across a wide variety of Legacy and modern database estates. Environments vary enormously between sites from late-1990s/early-2000s Unix/AIX hierarchical database systems through to modern Windows Server relational infrastructure. Much of it is bespoke and poorly documented, so you will be working out what the data means before you can move it recovering structure and business meaning from sources nobody has documented, then guaranteeing complete data integrity and structural validation without altering the underlying data context.

This is a hands-on, autonomous role inside secure client environments. It demands genuine curiosity and the ability to dive into bespoke, poorly documented proprietary systems and deliver.

Candidates will align with the following profile:

• Windows & relational data
• RDBMS depth Oracle, MSSQL, PostgreSQL
• Windows Server fluency (security, networking, permissions)
• C# and native .NET for secure extraction and transformation Middleware

Requirements

Relevant experience typically includes modernising, migrating or consolidating old systems, integrating acquired systems, replacing Legacy platforms, building understanding of undocumented applications, and extracting data from complex environments.

Outside IR35. Remote, with all work conducted inside the secure client environment.

Please do not apply if:

IMPORTANT NOTICE - PLEASE FOLLOW:

• System and data discovery, investigation and analysis. Establishing what is in an unfamiliar system, rather than working from a predefined data model
• Logical and conceptual data modelling, and the information semantics behind undocumented data
• Proven ability to translate data between relational tables and hierarchical globals
• Full operational autonomy within a secure VDI, identifying architectural risks and delivering remediation without day-to-day oversight
• You work at configuration level only and cannot make code-level changes
• Your background is business intelligence, reporting or analytics rather than data extraction and development
• You work from specifications handed to you rather than investigating and deciding yourself
• You need day-to-day direction or top cover to deliver
• You are uncomfortable in bespoke, undocumented Legacy environments
• You cannot evidence hands-on depth in the above
• Applications must only be made via the link in this advertisement and NOT through other channels such as emails, mobile, socials, scheduling calls from our PRO PMs website booking tool or calling us via PRO PMs website contact details.
• We guarantee that every CV application will be viewed, assessed fairly and as such, please do not call for a status.
• Once an initial shortlist has been established, we do however guarantee to provide accurate feedback once any conversations have commenced with any candidates, and we are very transparent and timely about status and progress from that point forwards.
• Initiating direct contact will not benefit your application, it detracts on time for all and would introduce a bias into the process which we do not support. It can negatively affect your application as these instructions are clear. This is to assist all applicants and the client in a swift efficient sourcing process to find the highest calibre contractor suited for the stated requirements.
