Work with PostgreSQL databases for application support, connectivity, SQL troubleshooting, and performance/health monitoring.
Review existing application and technical documentation to build a comprehensive understanding of the application and its dependencies.
Learn the application from scratch through documentation, configurations, logs, deployment pipelines, and hands-on investigation.
Automate operational and deployment activities using scripting and Infrastructure as Code where applicable.
Collaborate with application development, infrastructure, database, and production support teams.
Maintain and improve operational documentation, runbooks, and support procedures.
Identify opportunities to improve automation, monitoring, platform stability, and operational efficiency.
Core / Must-Have Skills

Self-driven with the ability to independently investigate issues and progressively develop application expertise.
Nice-to-Have Skills
Exposure to Generative AI / Large Language Models (LLMs).
Familiarity with AI/LLM APIs or AI-enabled applications.
Exposure to Azure OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI APIs, or similar technologies.
