Lorien’s client, a fast-growing, global-reaching SAAS company with a great reputation in their domain, are currently looking to hire a Junior / Mid level SQL Developer to join their evolving technology team delivering data-driven solutions within a fast‑paced, client‑focused environment.

They’re a great firm with interesting projects in the pipeline, offering a range of incentives including bonuses, hybrid working, private healthcare, recognition rewards, professional development and ongoing upskilling avenues.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working with complex data, solving technical problems, and seeing their work move through build, test and deployment. It offers a great blend of hands‑on technical work, structured delivery, and real‑world impact. You’ll be part of a collaborative team, helping to configure and deliver solutions aligned to business requirements, while maintaining a strong focus on quality, accuracy and performance.

You’ll play a key role across the delivery lifecycle, including:

• Configuring and developing solutions based on agreed designs and requirements
• Working with data to query, manipulate and optimise performance
• Supporting build activities alongside more senior developers or build leads
• Carrying out unit testing and end‑to‑end testing
• Investigating and resolving defects identified during testing phases
• Supporting release preparation and deployment activities
• Contributing to peer reviews and maintaining high delivery standards

This is a role where you’ll get exposure across the full lifecycle, not just isolated development tasks.

We’re looking for someone with a strong blend of technical capability and delivery awareness, ideally from a product, SaaS or data‑led environment.

• Good understanding with SQL (data querying, manipulation, and ideally performance optimisation)
• Experience working in a structured development or implementation environment
• Exposure to testing, defect management, and release processes
• Understanding of the software development lifecycle
• Ability to work from requirements and translate them into working solutions
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills
• Experience with reporting tools such as Power BI or SSRS
• Experience working with configurable or low‑code platforms

• Salary up to £43,500 plus bonus scheme and benefits including Private Healthcare, supported upskilling and training, recognition awards and more
• Hybrid working model (2 days in office, 3 from home)
• Structured development environment with clear progression opportunities
• Exposure to complex, real‑world data challenges
• Collaborative team culture with strong technical support
