  • Storage & Capacity : Manage database storage needs, plan for capacity scaling, and optimize resource allocation in the cloud to control costs.
  • Collaboration and Automation :

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration : Partner closely with Software Engineering, DevOps, Infrastructure, and Security teams to provide database design input, troubleshoot application-related database issues, and integrate security policies.
  • Automation : Develop and maintain scripts (PowerShell, Python, or Shell) to automate routine operational tasks, reporting, and deployment processes.
  • IaC Integration (Preferred) : Work with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible) to deploy and configure database infrastructure in an automated, repeatable manner.

  • Availability : Demonstrated commitment to participating in a 24 / 7 on-call rotation and responding to critical incidents outside of regular business hours.
  • Technical Skills : Expert proficiency in T-SQL and / or PL / SQL and strong scripting capabilities (PowerShell, Python, or Bash).
