  • Respond to daily break/fix incidents and provide timely resolution of database-related issues.
  • Troubleshoot database performance, connectivity, availability, and system-related problems.
  • Apply database updates, patches, and maintenance activities as required.
  • Monitor database health and performance to ensure optimal operation.
  • Review and manage database security, permissions, and access controls.
  • Design, configure, deploy, maintain, and support database systems and related infrastructure.
  • Create and maintain accurate technical documentation, procedures, and operational processes.
  • Collaborate with technical teams, stakeholders, and end users to support business and project requirements.

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience administering and managing production databases.
  • 5+ years of Microsoft SQL Server administration experience.
  • Strong knowledge of SQL Server versions 2008 through 2019.
  • Experience with database migrations, platform upgrades, and validation testing.
  • Strong troubleshooting and root-cause analysis skills.
  • Experience with database backup, recovery, monitoring, and maintenance processes.
  • Knowledge of database security, access management, and compliance best practices.
  • Experience configuring, deploying, maintaining, and supporting database systems.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively with technical teams and business users.
  • Experience maintaining project and operational documentation.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience supporting Oracle database environments.
  • Experience working in enterprise-scale database environments.
  • Familiarity with high-performance database platforms and infrastructure.
  • Experience supporting hardware refresh or end-of-life migration projects.
