**Key Responsibilities**

- **Database Design & Architecture**: Design and implement robust MongoDB database structures, including effective data models, schema design, indexing strategies, and sharding configurations for optimal performance and scalability to millions of transactions.
- **Performance Optimization**: Analyze and tune database performance by optimizing queries, indexes, and aggregation pipelines. Implement caching mechanisms and efficient data retrieval strategies to achieve low-latency, high-throughput operations.
- **Scalability & High Availability**: Architect solutions for high availability and horizontal scaling (e.g. using replica sets and sharding). Ensure continuous operation and capacity to handle growing data volumes and real-time load without service interruption.
- **Security & Compliance**: Implement robust security measures for MongoDB, including authentication, authorization, encryption, and data governance. Ensure compliance with relevant industry standards and regulations (e.g. PCI DSS, GDPR) to protect sensitive financial data.
- **Backup & Disaster Recovery**: Develop and maintain comprehensive backup strategies and disaster recovery plans. Regularly test backups and recovery procedures to safeguard data integrity and guarantee business continuity.
- **Monitoring & Troubleshooting**: Implement monitoring and alerting solutions to continuously track database health and performance. Proactively identify bottlenecks or issues and troubleshoot them to maintain optimal system operation and minimize downtime.
- **Automation & Tooling**: Automate routine database tasks (deployments, scaling, backups, indexing, etc.) using scripting and appropriate DevOps tools. Streamline operational processes to reduce manual effort and error.
- **Research & Innovation**: Stay up-to-date with the latest MongoDB features, best practices, and ecosystem tools. Evaluate new technologies or approaches (e.g. improved scaling techniques, new storage engines, cloud services) and recommend enhancements to improve our data architecture.
