• Develop scripts and workflows using PowerShell, T-SQL, and cloud CLI tools to automate routine administrative tasks, maintenance, and monitoring.
• Support deployment automation and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) efforts using tools like AWS CloudFormation or CLI.

3. Performance Tuning & Diagnostic Monitoring

• Conduct query performance tuning, execution plan analysis, index optimization, and wait-stat analysis to resolve operational bottlenecks.
• Implement proactive alerting mechanisms and monitor wait stats to sustain peak database efficiency and system responsiveness.
• Collaborate with application teams on schema refactoring, data validation, and query design reviews.

4. Technical Collaboration & Operational Governance

• Work as part of a global database engineering setup to deliver robust, scalable data platform solutions.
• Foster an operational culture focused on clear documentation, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), detailed runbooks, and continuous process improvement.
• Share constructive feedback during technical design reviews and collaborate with cross-functional technology teams.

5. Vendor & Partner Management

• Manage relationships with cloud providers (AWS, GCP), third-party database software vendors, and managed service providers (MSPs).
• Oversee vendor SLAs, license compliance, contract renewals, and support escalations to ensure high-priority incidents are resolved rapidly.
• Collaborate with vendors and internal procurement/finance teams on FinOps initiatives to optimize cloud database spend and reduce infrastructure overhead.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Experience: 12–14
•  years of dedicated enterprise experience as a SQL Server DBA across production and non-production setups.
• Technical Mastery: Deep knowledge of SQL Server Architecture (2016–2022), T-SQL, PowerShell automation, Always On AG, WSFC, AWS (EC2/RDS) and/or GCP Cloud SQL, and basic IaC frameworks.
• Certifications (Preferred):
  • AWS / Cloud Certified Associate or Professional
