  • Migrating workloads off MSSQL DW to more sustainable platforms (Production standby, data lake, StarRocks, etc.). 

  • Decommissioning legacy components as part of the long‑term DW strategy. 

• Define and implement data and query engine standards (indexing/partitioning patterns, materialized views, retention strategies, governance and access patterns) for BI platforms. 

• Define SLIs/SLOs for key services (StarRocks, Vertica, Tableau, Superset/Metabase, MSSQL DW) and ensure they are instrumented, monitored, and reviewed regularly. 

• Lead incident response for BI‑Infra DBA‑owned platforms: diagnose cross‑system issues (Query Engine - Database, VIz tools, Compute, Storage, Network), post‑mortem/root‑cause analysis, and follow‑up improvements. 

• Partner with BI‑Infra Ops/Dev/Viz and DBDev/DBOps on end‑to‑end reliability — from ingestion pipelines to visualization queries and user traffic patterns. 

• Perform deep query and workload tuning for high‑impact systems (e.g., finance, supply, whitelabel analytics, experimentation, DQ), reducing CPU/memory/IO and improving latency at scale. 

• Optimize resource consumption and license/capacity planning for Query Engine – Database and BI tools. 

• Collaborate with infra and product teams to evaluate and adopt new query engines / database technologies where they materially improve reliability, performance, or cost. 

• Own upgrade and patching strategies for database and BI stacks (OS, engine, drivers), using canary/blue‑green and rollback plans to minimize downtime. 

• Improve and extend CI/CD and deployment automation for database objects, jobs, and configuration (GitLab, AWX/Ansible, ArgoCD, etc.). 

• Build and maintain observability for BI-Infra DBA services (Grafana, Prometheus/SLO dashboards, alerting, Hedwig/NOC integrations) to detect and act on issues proactively.
