  • Enforce database security policies: manage user roles/permissions, encryption, auditing, vulnerability management.
  • Manage database deployments, versioning, change-control, patching/upgrades and configuration management in coordination with DevOps/Infrastructure teams.
  • Work closely with development teams during design and release cycles: review database design/schema, give feedback on query/stored proc performance and best practices.
  • Monitor database health proactively: resource usage (CPU/memory/I/O), alerts, logs/traces, and take preventive actions to avoid downtime or degradation.
  • Document standards, runbooks, procedures, and provide knowledge-transfer/mentoring to more junior DBAs.
  • Stay current with database technologies, industry best practices (on-premises and cloud), and drive continuous improvement.

Required skills & experience

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science / Information Systems or equivalent.
  • 4-6 years hands-on experience as an SQL Database Administrator (or equivalent relational DB role) in a production environment.
  • Strong experience with Microsoft SQL Server (versions e.g. 2016/2019/2022)
    or
    relevant relational DBMS in enterprise scale.
  • Proven track record in performance tuning (query, index, configuration), capacity/storage/I/O planning.
  • Solid experience in backup & recovery strategies, disaster-recovery planning, high-availability technologies (Always On, clustering, mirroring, replication).
  • Knowledge of database security: user/role management, encryption, audit logging.
  • Comfortable with scripting/automation for DBA tasks (T-SQL, PowerShell, Python or similar).
  • Experience working in DevOps/CI-CD environments (automated deployments, version control for DB artifacts).
  • Good communication & collaboration skills — able to interface with development, infrastructure and business stakeholders.
