- Databases matter
- SQL matters
- Performance matters
- Design decisions have visible, real-world impact

This role exists following the retirement of a long-standing engineer with deep system knowledge. We are not looking for a like-for-like replacement, but for a sharp, curious developer who enjoys understanding complex systems and making them better.

- Use Hibernate / JPA with an understanding of their strengths and pitfalls
- Decide when ORM is helpful and when SQL is the better tool
- Work on a stable but evolving codebase where improvements are welcome
