The position also includes contributor coaching, onboarding, quality documentation, calibration, performance tracking, and continuous improvement of SQL review workflows.
Key Responsibilities
* Review SQL and database AI training items against detailed project rubrics and technical quality standards.
* Evaluate query correctness, schema understanding, join logic, aggregation accuracy, readability, formatting, and instruction compliance.
* Execute or logically trace SQL queries to confirm whether they return the intended results.
* Review SELECT statements, filters, joins, grouping, sorting, subqueries, common table expressions, and window functions.
* Identify invalid syntax, incorrect aliases, missing conditions, ambiguous columns, and incomplete query logic.
* Detect duplicate counting, incorrect aggregation levels, unintended row multiplication, and flawed grouping.
* Evaluate INNER JOIN, LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN, FULL JOIN, CROSS JOIN, and self-join usage.
* Review queries involving ranking, running totals, partitions, lead and lag functions, and analytical windows.
* Assess schema designs, entity relationships, keys, constraints, normalization, and data integrity.
* Verify the appropriate use of primary keys, foreign keys, unique constraints, defaults, and nullability rules.
* Review transactions, isolation considerations, locking behavior, and data consistency recommendations.
* Identify inefficient queries, unnecessary scans, weak predicates, poor indexing strategies, and avoidable complexity.
* Evaluate execution-plan interpretations and optimization recommendations for technical accuracy.
* Check compatibility across PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, SQLite, BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, and other supported dialects.
* Flag SQL injection risks, unsafe dynamic queries, exposed credentials, and insecure database practices.
* Assess data warehouse queries, reporting logic, dimensional models, and business intelligence workflows.
* Review AI-generated explanations for accuracy, completeness, clarity, and alignment with the accompanying query.
* Spot-check work completed by analysts, engineers, trainers, annotators, educators, reviewers, and QA contributors.
* Provide precise written feedback explaining each defect and the corrective action required.
* Escalate recurring, critical, security-sensitive, or production-impacting quality concerns.
* Communicate updated guidelines, workflow changes, and SQL-specific expectations through Discord.
* Respond to contributor questions involving joins, aggregations, window functions, dialects, schemas, performance, security, and rubric interpretation.
* Contact inactive contributors, encourage participation, record follow-ups, and report availability concerns.
* Create and maintain SQL style guides, FAQs, trackers, quality notes, examples, honeypots, calibration tasks, and onboarding materials.
* Conduct remote onboarding and technical training sessions for SQL trainers and reviewers.
* Ensure contributors apply updated database review standards consistently.
* Analyze recurring quality gaps and recommend practical improvements to SQL QA workflows.
* Maintain accurate records of evaluations, feedback, contributor performance, and corrective actions.
Ideal Profile
* Bachelor\'s or Master\'s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Information Systems, Software Engineering, Statistics, Business Analytics, or a related discipline.
* Equivalent professional database or data engineering experience may be considered.
* Minimum 3 years of professional experience using SQL for analytics, backend development, database engineering, business intelligence, reporting, data warehousing, QA, teaching, or technical review.
* Strong English communication skills for interpreting detailed guidelines and delivering clear technical feedback.
* Thorough understanding of SELECT, WHERE, JOINs, GROUP BY, HAVING, ORDER BY, subqueries, and common table expressions.
* Strong knowledge of window functions, indexes, constraints, transactions, normalization, and schema design.
* Ability to identify incorrect joins, aggregation errors, duplicate counting, invalid syntax, and incomplete explanations.
* Experience reviewing query performance, execution plans, indexing decisions, and database bottlenecks.
* Understanding of SQL injection, parameterized queries, permissions, and database security practices.
* Familiarity with PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, SQLite, BigQuery, Snowflake, or Redshift is preferred.
* Experience with data warehouses, entity-relationship modeling, dashboards, reporting platforms, or BI tools is advantageous.
* Ability to distinguish dialect-specific syntax and identify incompatible recommendations.
* Strong debugging skills with careful attention to data grain, null handling, edge cases, and result accuracy.
* Experience leading or supporting analysts, engineers, trainers, reviewers, annotators, educators, or QA teams is strongly preferred.
* Ability to apply detailed rubrics consistently across high-volume technical review assignments.
* Confidence using Discord, Google Sheets, Google Docs, GitHub, trackers, dashboards, and project management systems.
* Experience creating style guides, calibration tasks, onboarding resources, FAQs, and technical documentation is beneficial.
* Familiarity with AI training, data annotation, large language model evaluation, SQL QA, code review, or rubric-based technical assessment is advantageous.
