The Role
- Please show your work!
- This role is about database coding, not DB admin. This is not a job for someone familiar with writing queries alone. You should have designed and implemented PostgreSQL schemas that use functions and triggers. Even better if they used row-level security. You will write and review PostgreSQL code to extend the rich set of layered schemas that make up our back-end application.
