Responsibilities

  • Own the health, performance, and availability of the MSSQL production estate.

  • Own schema versioning and migration pipelines integrated into CI/CD using Flyway.
  • Partner with R&D on schema design, migrations, and release readiness.

  • Drive automation of routine DBA work and define standards and runbooks.
  • Use AI tools (Claude, Copilot) for SQL generation, automation scripts, and troubleshooting.

Requirements

  • 6+ years as an MSSQL DBA with expert-level query optimization, execution plans, indexing, locking, and T-SQL.
  • Proven experience with large-scale databases: high volume, high concurrency, multi-terabyte.
  • Hands-on production experience with Amazon Redshift or comparable MPP warehouse (Snowflake, BigQuery).
  • Experience with schema versioning and migration tooling integrated into CI/CD (Flyway, Liquibase).
  • Strong HA/DR, backup/recovery, and replication experience.
  • Scripting for automation (PowerShell, Python, or similar).
  • Practical experience using AI assistants for real work: scripts, queries, automation, documentation.

Nice to have

  • Cloud database experience on AWS (RDS).
  • Multi-tenant SaaS environments.
  • MongoDB or other non-relational engines.
  • ETL/ELT tooling and modern data stack exposure.
