Who’s Hiring Database People? February 2026 Edition
Is your company hiring for a database position as of February 2026? Do you wanna work with the kinds of people who read this blog? Let’s make a love connection.
If your company is hiring, leave a comment. The rules:
- Your comment must include the job title, and either a link to the full job description, or the text of it.
- An email address to send resumes, or a link to the application process – if I were you, I’d put an email address because you may want to know that applicants are readers here, because they might be more qualified than the applicants you regularly get.
- Please state the location and include REMOTE and/or VISA when that sort of candidate is welcome. When remote work is not an option, include ONSITE.
- Please only post if you personally are part of the hiring company—no recruiting firms or job boards. Only one post per company. If it isn’t a household name, please explain what your company does.
- It has to be a data-related job.
If your comment isn’t relevant or smells fishy, I’ll delete it. If you have questions about why your comment got deleted, or how to maximize the effectiveness of your comment, contact me.
Each month, I publish a new post in the Who’s Hiring category here so y’all can get the latest opportunities.

Alternative Strategy Advisers (ASA) is a boutique fixed income investment firm managing $1–2 billion in assets. We’ve been around since the late 1980s — founded by principals from Cargill’s proprietary fixed income desk. Four-person firm, profitable, stable.

You’d be the sole technologist at a firm where your work directly drives investment decisions. No red tape, no ticket queues — just real problems and the autonomy to solve them.
Need: Strong SQL Server/Azure SQL (CTEs, window functions, stored procedures, performance tuning), Power BI + DAX + Power Query/M, Azure cloud fundamentals, self-directed work ethic.
Love to see: AI tool experience (Claude/Copilot/Cursor), Python/PowerShell, Microsoft Fabric awareness, financial data exposure, certs like DP-203 or PL-300.
Comp: $100K–$145K base + 10–20% discretionary bonus + health/401(k)/PTO.
Fully remote OK. Preference for proximity to Minneapolis, Scottsdale, or Sarasota for occasional in-person collaboration.
