• Troubleshoot complex issues: deadlocks, hung sessions, performance bottlenecks, disk I/O, memory/CPU issues; root cause and resolution.
• Ensure robust security practices: user/role management, encryption at rest/in transit (TDE, backup encryption), auditing, and compliance with relevant standards.
• Develop and maintain runbooks, knowledge base content, playbooks, and documentation to support operations and onboarding.
• Serve collaboratively with DevOps, Cloud, and Engineering teams to integrate database provisioning and management into CI/CD pipelines.
• Participate in an on-call rotation to ensure 24/7 availability for mission‑critical systems.

• Deep understanding of backup/recovery strategies, high-availability setups, replication, and performance tuning.
• Strong scripting skills—PowerShell, Bash, T‑SQL; experience integrating DBA automation in CI/CD pipelines.
• Excellent troubleshooting skills and the ability to resolve performance and availability issues.
• Effective written and verbal communication, with an emphasis on documentation and cross-team collaboration.

Preferred (Nice-to-Have)
