  • Resolve incidents, service requests, and change orders in a timely, high-quality manner
  • Act as a technical escalation point for database-related issues
  • Ensure clear communication and status updates for all assigned work

5. Enable data integrity, security, and best practices
  • Apply established methodologies and governance standards across database environments
  • Maintain CI/CD processes within cloud data platforms to support consistent deployments
  • Ensure security, compliance, and data protection best practices are enforced
  • Continuously evaluate and improve operational processes to prevent recurring issues

What you bring

  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment
  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and customer service skills
