Key Responsibilities: Core Database Administration • Health & monitoring: Monitor database health, performance, and capacity across Azure-managed PostgreSQL and Oracle using Datadog for alerting, SLO tracking, and trend analysis. • Data protection: Own backups, restores, and disaster recovery procedures; regularly validate recovery readiness through testing. • Governance: Administer access controls and user provisioning in alignment with security and financial compliance requirements.
Application Integration & SQL Optimization • Application-centric tuning: Collaborate with developers to analyze and optimize SQL execution paths in the application's data access layer, using Datadog APM traces to pinpoint slow or ineSicient queries in production traSic. • Code-level analysis: Read and understand Java code to trace data access patterns and ensure tuning aligns with how the application interacts with the database. • Proactive design partnership: Partner with software engineers and architects during design and sprint planning to shape eSicient relational data models, indexing approaches, and query strategies before features ship. • Root-cause remediation: Identify performance bottlenecks using database monitoring, then work with developers to implement query rewrites and schema adjustments that preserve application logic. • Performance baselines: Establish and track performance baselines for business-critical queries and implement anomaly detection to prevent regression as new features are released.
Qualifications (Required): • 5+ years of experience supporting relational databases (e.g. Postgres, Oracle). • Hands-on experience with Git, CI/CD, Helm and Terraform for database changes, automation, and releases. • Proficiency with Datadog (or similar observability tools) for performance monitoring and alerting across database and application layers. • Ability to read and understand Java application code to trace data access patterns. • Strong communication skills and the ability to partner eSectively with engineering and infrastructure teams. • Hands-on administration of Azure Database for PostgreSQL, including configuration, upgrades, and parameter tuning. • Experience designing and operating high availability and disaster recovery (replication, failover, RPO/RTO), including regular testing. • Strong performance tuning skills, including execution plan analysis (EXPLAIN), indexing strategy, query rewrites, and diagnosing locking/contention. • Experience implementing database security best practices, including encryption, secrets management, role-based access, and audit logging. • Ability to automate DBA workflows using Python, Bash, or PowerShell (maintenance, backup verification, provisioning, alerting). • Comfort participating in an on-call rotation, leading incident triage, and writing post-incident reviews with corrective and preventive actions. Nice to have: • Hands-on administration of Oracle Database including installation, configuration, upgrades, parameter tuning, and backups using RMAN. • Experience with distributed databases, such as CockroachDB. • Experience managing databases hosted on Kubernetes
