About We Comes Before Me Corp, D.B.A. SqlDBM

Trusted by Fortune 500 companies and industry leaders, SqlDBM serves as a critical component in the ongoing management and delivery of enterprise data platforms. We support complex, multi-cloud environments including Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, and Redshift. SqlDBM integrates with Git, dbt, and data catalogs to enable collaboration, architectural consistency, and continuous innovation. Our platform supports long-term transformation initiatives, not just one-time migrations.

What You’ll Tackle

• Technical strategy : Define architecture, tooling, security, and scaling for SqlDBMv2, then turn “we should” into “it’s in prod.”
• ASP.NET to .NETCore transition : Own the migration path, ensure zero downtime, and retire our legacy code.
• AI enablement : Formalize an AI toolchain (Cursor/Copilot, etc.), set prompt patterns, guardrails, and velocity metrics.
• Team leadership : Hire, coach, and unblock a squad of full‑stack engineers.
• Delivery & DevOps : Set up and maintain CI pipelines, automated testing, deployment workflows, observability, feature flags, etc.
• Frontend coordination : Keep our React codebase clean

Tech Environment

• Frontend: React
• Infrastructure : AWS
• LLM framework: AmazonBedrock

What You Bring

• Hands‑on full‑stack depth: You can still sketch a migration or debug a stale cache without Slack‑splaining.
• Deep experience with ASP.NET and .NETCore.
• Database intuition: Understand normalization, indexing, and warehouse semantics.
• Familiarity with AmazonBedrock and other Gen‑AI platforms; routine use of coding copilots, LLM‑powered code review, and automated test generation.
• Expertise in designing and operating CI/CD, automated testing pipelines, and smooth deployment flows - experience deploying to prod multiple times a day.
• Bias towards action. Clear metrics.
• Fully remote, async‑first team.
• Annual bonus opportunity: Up to 10% of base salary tied to delivery and uptime targets.
• Equity: meaningful slice‑sized for department lead.
• Hardware & AI‑tool budget.
• Benefits: 15 vacation & 5 sick days + 12 holidays; Comprehensive plan coverage for employee and covered dependents for medical, vision, dental, life, Short‑term Disability, Long‑Term Disability, and employer‑sponsored 401k.
