Manage high-availability and replication setups (streaming replication, clustering, Always On, Galera).
Ensure database security: access controls, encryption at rest/in transit, auditing, and patch management.
Automate routine tasks (provisioning, maintenance, patching) using scripts and IaC/automation tools.
Troubleshoot production incidents, perform root-cause analysis, and lead remediation and post-incident reviews.
Collaborate with developers and application teams on schema changes, queries, and migration strategies; review DDL/DDL changes.
Maintain documentation: runbooks, maintenance plans, configuration baselines, and capacity records.

Cloud & tooling: Experience with managed database services (RDS/Aurora, Cloud SQL, Azure SQL), monitoring tools, and provisioning automation (Terraform, Ansible).
Scripting & automation: Proficient in Bash, Python, or PowerShell for automation and tooling.
Security & compliance: Knowledge of encryption, RBAC, auditing, and data protection regulations.
Soft skills: Problem-solving, clear communication, documentation discipline, and ability to collaborate across teams.
