• Support schema changes, performance tuning, and database-level troubleshooting
• Collaborate with development and support teams to resolve operational issues
• Document configurations and procedures to support continuity and knowledge sharing
• Participate in on-call support and maintenance activities
• Grow your skills into MS SQL Server and broader platform support over time
• Strong experience as a production Oracle DBA
• In-depth knowledge of Oracle 12c/19c, RMAN, and Oracle Enterprise Manager
• Strong SQL and PL/SQL development and tuning skills
• Experience running Oracle on Windows Server
• Sound understanding of security, backup, and high availability
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills
• Interest in, exposure of, or experience with Microsoft SQL Server (2016+)
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS or Azure)
