• Experience with database replication technologies such as SAP Replication Server, Oracle Data Guard, and preferably HVR.
• Strong scripting/automation experience with Python, Shell, Ansible, or similar technologies.
• Experience with Veritas Cluster Server, ASM, LVM, and SAN technologies.
• Strong understanding of storage, networking, operating systems, infrastructure services, and application connectivity.
• Experience troubleshooting database, OS, storage, networking, replication, backup/recovery, and performance issues.
• Experience with enterprise operational tools including ServiceNow, Jira, and Confluence.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, problem-solving, communication, and documentation skills.
• Ability to work with urgency while maintaining production stability and reliability.
• Additional database experience with MongoDB, Cassandra, Redis, PostgreSQL, MySQL, or similar platforms is a plus.
