Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in database administration.
• Deep expertise with Microsoft SQL Server (2016+) performance tuning, high availability, disaster recovery.
• Hands-on experience with SQL Server version upgrades and end-of-support migrations (e.g., off SQL Server 2016), including compatibility-level and upgrade testing.
• Strong hands-on experience with SSIS (building, maintaining, and migrating ETL packages) and SSRS (report development and administration).
• Experience with AWS RDS (SQL Server) setup, migration, monitoring, Multi-AZ.
• Experience with AWS-native ETL and data migration tooling (AWS DMS, AWS Glue) and/or a clear plan for modernizing SSIS-based ETL in AWS.

• Experience mentoring junior DBAs or application developers on database best practices.

Responsibilities

• Assess, migrate, and maintain the existing SSIS ETL packages and SSRS reports — either re-platforming to AWS-native ETL and reporting services (e.g., AWS Glue, DMS) or retaining and upgrading them on SQL Server on EC2
• Drive database cost optimization: right-sizing instances, evaluating Reserved Instances, storage tiering, and eliminating unnecessary licensing costs
• Upskill and mentor the existing Hospice SQL DBA team on AWS database operations, RDS management, and cloud best practices
• Establish cloud-native database monitoring, alerting, and performance baselines using Datadog and CloudWatch
• Design and implement automated backup, restore, and disaster recovery processes using AWS Backup
