• 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.
