  • The main job will be to import data files into the new servers and help create an ETL process for the new semi-live data. This means we will need to identify the field(s) we can use as “cutoff” point to prevent importing duplicates (and this will need to be done for each data file, which there are around 80 of them). The contract worker will act as the SME for the data file(s) they are assigned to import.

  • Bug resolution time: The time it takes the developer to identify, fix, and deploy a solution for reported bugs. Faster bug resolution often indicates strong problem-solving skills.
  • Project timelines: Meeting deadlines and milestones are crucial as delays can impact the overall project schedule.
  • Effective collaboration and communications.
  • Testing efficiency: It’s important to run thorough testing to catch and fix bugs early in the development process.
  • Data file load performance: Optimizing performance is crucial.
  • Error rate: A lower error rate indicates a more stable and reliable application.
