• Perform database performance tuning and optimization using execution plans, indexing strategies, partitioning, optimizer statistics, and Oracle diagnostic and monitoring tools.
• Collaborate closely with software engineers, architects, DevOps engineers, and business stakeholders to deliver scalable and reliable data solutions.
• Participate in Agile development activities, including sprint planning, backlog refinement, daily standups, code reviews, sprint reviews, and retrospectives.
• Contribute to DevSecOps and CI/CD initiatives by implementing automated testing, deployment, monitoring, and compliance practices for database solutions.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, including database designs, data mappings, interface specifications, operational procedures, and support guides.
• Develop and support database unit testing, regression testing, data validation testing, and automated test support for SQL, PL/SQL, ETL, and data migration changes.
• Support production operations, release deployments, incident troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and post-deployment validation for mission-critical database and application components.
• Leverage approved AI-powered development tools to accelerate SQL and PL/SQL development, code review, troubleshooting, documentation, testing, and knowledge-sharing activities.
• Identify and implement opportunities to apply AI and intelligent automation to database development, data engineering, deployment, monitoring, operational support, and engineering productivity.
• Support data governance, security, privacy, and compliance requirements by implementing least-privilege access, auditability, encryption-aware data handling, and controls aligned with Federal standards such as FISMA, NIST, and FedRAMP where applicable.
• Continuously evaluate emerging database, cloud, AI, and data engineering technologies and recommend improvements that enhance platform capabilities and team productivity.
