## About this task

This digital media company in education (501–1,000 employees) is looking for a manager SQL & ETL Support for a single piece of work with a fixed scope and a fixed price. Repairs history after a bug or schema change.

The company has a deadline, no one free to own it, and wants a person who has done the same job before. It publishes content on a schedule, so editorial deadlines are fixed.

The work is fully remote. Any location in United States works, with a few hours of overlap with the team's day. You choose your hours; nothing is scheduled except an occasional short call.

## What you deliver

- Backfill six months of corrected order data and verify totals against the ledger.

- A final note stating what was checked and what was left out of scope

- One round of edits after the company's review is included

- A 20-minute walkthrough call, or a recorded screen share if you prefer

## How the work runs

- Day 1: scope confirmed in writing, files shared

- Middle of the period: draft shared for early feedback

- Last day: final version and handover note

**Duration:** 2 to 3 weeks. Accepted on the company's written OK. If something is missed, you fix it in the same week at no extra charge to either side.

## Tools

SQL Python

## Who fits

- 7-12 years of hands-on work as an SQL & ETL Support, or the equivalent mix of roles

### Nice to have

- Comfortable explaining numbers or decisions to a non-specialist reader

- A habit of asking one clarifying question early rather than five late

## Not included

- On-call availability outside the agreed window

- Work outside the scope written in the brief; extra items are quoted separately

- Travel or work at a fixed location

## How you get paid

- The company prepays Deftridge before your first hour, so payment does not depend on a late invoice.

- Deftridge pays you in USD after the company confirms the hours or the deliverable. The payment date is written in your task agreement.

- You work as an independent contractor: you report your own income, and your recruiter sends the statements your accountant needs.

- You never chase the company. Questions about money go to Deftridge.
