Why This Role Stands Out
- Automation-Focused Environment: Help optimize and automate database operations for efficiency and scalability.
- Path to Cloud Expertise: Long-term growth includes opportunities to learn cloud technologies.
- Hands-On Technical Depth: Stay deeply involved in engineering without being pushed into management prematurely
Key Responsibilities

- Conduct disaster recovery testing and implement measures to safeguard database reliability and security.
- Design and optimize stored procedures, views, and ad-hoc queries to support business needs.
- Partner with IT and business teams to troubleshoot and resolve database-related issues efficiently.
- Participate in a shared on-call rotation (infrequent but required) to provide critical support when needed.
- Assist with schema design and maintain accurate documentation for database structures and processes.
Ideal Candidate
- Around 4 years of practical experience working with SQL Server and T-SQL (flexible range: 2–7 years).
- Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across technical and business teams.
- A growth-oriented mindset and adaptability in a dynamic, evolving technology environment.
- Comfortable handling customer support and ticket-based workflows with professionalism.
- Nice to have: Familiarity with other database technologies such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, or Databricks.
Culture & Leadership
- Reports to a manager who values mentorship and team development.
- Initial focus is support-heavy, with a clear path toward senior design and project ownership.
- A culture of promoting from within and supports long-term career development.
