Key Responsibilities
  • Design, deploy, and optimize different database technology types in our multi-cloud and on-premises environments
  • Write and optimize complex SQL queries, stored procedures, views
  • Create, modify, and remove indices to improve query performance and eliminate redundant overhead across multiple database platforms
  • Develop and maintain backup, recovery, and disaster recovery procedures for cloud and on-premises environments
  • Conduct and document disaster recovery drills and failover testing to validate recovery procedures, RTO/RPO compliance, and team readiness
  • Monitor database performance, analyze metrics, and implement tuning strategies
  • Collaborate with developers and architects to design efficient data models and schemas
  • Implement security best practices, access controls, and encryption standards across all database platforms
  • Manage database migrations, upgrades, and version control
  • Troubleshoot and resolve database issues, including replication, clustering, and connectivity problems

Required Skills & Experience
  • 6+ years of professional database engineering experience
  • Expert-level knowledge of Microsoft SQL Server (2016 or later), including deep knowledge of:
  • T-SQL development (complex queries, stored procedures, functions, triggers)
  • Index strategies and execution plan optimization
  • MSSQL Always-On Availability Groups configuration, management, and failover procedures
  • MSSQL mirroring and log shipping for disaster recovery scenarios
  • Backup and restore strategies, including recovery models (Simple, Bulk-Logged, Full) and point-in-time recovery
  • Strong experience with PostgreSQL
  • Hands-on experience with MongoDB or other NoSQL databases
  • Strong experience managing databases on AWS RDS and Aurora
  • Proficiency in backup/restore, recovery models, and disaster recovery planning
  • Knowledge of database security, encryption, authentication, and compliance standards
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills with attention to detail

Preferred Skills & Experience
  • Microsoft Azure certifications (Azure Solutions Architect or Azure Data Engineer)
  • Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Azure Resource Manager)
  • Familiarity with ETL tools and data pipelines
  • Experience with database monitoring tools (CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, Redgate, Solarwinds)
  • Knowledge of high-availability architecture and replication
  • Familiarity of CI/CD, version control, and automated testing
  • Experience in an Agile/DevOps environment

Education & Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field (or equivalent professional experience)
  • AWS or Microsoft Azure certifications are a plus
