  • Implement performance tuning at DB, application, and system levels.
  • Work closely with developers to improve SQL efficiency and response times.
  • Security & Compliance
  • Manage user roles, privileges, and access controls (e.g., via RACF, LDAP).
  • Ensure data protection and audit compliance (SOX, GDPR, etc.).
  • Implement database encryption and security hardening.
  • Backup & Recovery
  • Implement and monitor disaster recovery and high-availability solutions.
  • Test recovery scenarios to ensure business continuity.
  • Schedule and validate database backups using native DB2 tools or third-party utilities.
  • Automation & Scripting
  • Develop and maintain automation scripts using REXX, JCL, Python, or Shell scripting.

  • In-depth knowledge of SQL, DDL, DML, and DB2 utilities (LOAD, REORG, RUNSTATS, COPY, RECOVER, etc.).
  • Proficiency in database performance tuning, index design, and query optimization.
  • Experience with backup/recovery strategies and disaster recovery planning.
  • Strong understanding of database security and access management.
  • Familiarity with mainframe JCL, REXX, Batch scheduling tools (CA7, Control-M), and z/OS monitoring tools.
  • Exposure to cloud migrations (e.g., DB2 to PostgreSQL, AWS RDS, or Azure SQL) is a plus.
  • Working knowledge of data modeling and schema design principles.
  • Excellent analytical and troubleshooting skills.
