- Support database recovery across Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Hadoop, graph databases, and other enterprise database platforms.
- Facilitate recovery readiness through recovery testing, tabletop exercises, and cyber recovery simulations.
- Collaborate with database administrators, infrastructure, application, security, and business continuity teams to ensure recovery preparedness.
- Automate recovery processes, validation checks, health checks, and resiliency reporting using scripting and automation tools.
- Support and troubleshoot dependencies involving authentication services, DNS, certificates, and Linux/Windows environments.
- Provide technical leadership during major incidents, disaster recovery events, and cyber recovery operations.
- Continuously improve recovery procedures, resiliency strategies, and operational documentation.
Required Qualifications
- Experience with enterprise database platforms including Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB.
- Strong understanding of database recovery engineering and cyber resiliency principles.
- Experience designing and implementing backup, restore, replication, failover, and disaster recovery solutions.
- Solid understanding of Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) concepts.
- Knowledge of disaster recovery planning, recovery orchestration, and automation.
- Familiarity with authentication, DNS, certificate management, and related infrastructure dependencies.
- Understanding of Linux and Windows operating systems.
- Hands-on scripting and automation experience using Python, PowerShell, Bash, or similar scripting languages.
- Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills with cross-functional technical teams.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience supporting cyber recovery exercises or ransomware recovery planning.
- Familiarity with Zero Trust architecture, immutable storage, and cyber vault concepts.
- Experience implementing cloud database resiliency solutions across AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
- Knowledge of enterprise backup automation, monitoring, and configuration management tools.
- Experience working in highly regulated environments with strong audit and compliance requirements.
