Maintain Data Integrity: Enforce data integrity rules and best practices to ensure the accuracy and consistency of stored data.
Drive Continuous Improvement: Contribute to ongoing improvements by exploring new technologies, tools, and methods to enhance the stability and performance of our systems.
SQL Server Expertise: Deep knowledge of MS SQL Server, particularly SQL Server 2022, including performance tuning, query optimization, and high availability configurations (e.g., Always On Availability Groups).
Database Administration: Strong skills in backup and recovery, data integrity enforcement, and database security best practices (at least 3 years professional experience).
Scripting and Automation: Proficiency in scripting languages like PowerShell or T-SQL for automating database maintenance and deployment tasks.
Monitoring and Troubleshooting: Experience with database monitoring tools and the ability to troubleshoot performance issues, ensuring optimal database operation.
Cloud Experience: Proficiency in managing databases hosted on cloud platforms, particularly Google Cloud Platform (GCP), with a focus on scalability, security, and resilience.
Experience in a SaaS Environment: Understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities in a SaaS-based platform, especially regarding database scalability and performance.
Collaboration: Ability to work effectively within cross-functional teams, including close collaboration with SRE, BI, and Product teams.
Problem-Solving: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to diagnose and resolve complex database issues.
Adaptability: Flexibility to work in a dynamic environment, handling both operational tasks and long-term projects.
Communication: Clear and effective communication skills to explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
