Original job description

The Senior Microsoft SQL Server and Azure Database Administrator will lead the administration, performance optimization, reliability, and security of enterprise database platforms across on-premises infrastructure and Microsoft Azure. The role requires advanced SQL Server expertise, deep performance diagnostics capabilities, and experience supporting business-critical databases in production environments. The successful candidate will drive database modernization, high availability, disaster recovery, operational automation, and incident resolution while maintaining performance, security, and compliance standards.

Key Responsibilities

Administer and support Microsoft SQL Server across on-premises environments, Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance, and SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines.
Lead performance diagnostics and tuning using Query Store, execution plans, Dynamic Management Views, Extended Events, wait statistics, PerfMon, SQL Profiler, and Azure monitoring tools.
Optimize complex T-SQL queries, stored procedures, indexes, statistics, partitioning, memory usage, TempDB, parallelism, locking, blocking, deadlocks, CPU utilization, storage I/O, and transaction logs.
Detect query-plan regressions and workload bottlenecks, establish performance baselines and capacity forecasts, and validate measurable improvements.
Govern Azure SQL automatic tuning and Database Advisor recommendations with production safeguards and rollback readiness.
Design and support high-availability and disaster-recovery solutions using Always On availability groups, failover groups, clustering, replication, log shipping, backup, restore, and point-in-time recovery.
Plan and execute database migrations, upgrades, patching, consolidation, modernization, and cloud adoption with minimal disruption.
Manage Azure SQL service tiers, elastic pools, scaling, geo-replication, private connectivity, firewall rules, and cost-performance optimization.
Implement least-privilege access, Microsoft Entra authentication, managed identities, encryption, auditing, vulnerability remediation, secrets management, and compliance controls.
Automate database provisioning, configuration, health checks, maintenance, backup validation, and reporting using PowerShell, T-SQL, Azure CLI, and infrastructure-as-code practices.
Own P1/P2 incidents, outages, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, vendor escalations, and stakeholder communications.
Maintain database standards, runbooks, recovery procedures, dashboards, and knowledge articles while mentoring support teams and supporting change and release readiness.

Required Skills & Qualifications

8–14 years of relevant database administration experience, with strong Level 3 Microsoft SQL Server and Azure DBA expertise.
Advanced hands-on experience with Microsoft SQL Server, Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance, and SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines.
Deep knowledge of Query Store, performance monitoring, execution-plan analysis, T-SQL optimization, indexing, blocking, deadlocks, and capacity management.
Proven experience with high availability, replication, clustering, backup and recovery, database migrations, upgrades, and patching.
Automation capabilities using PowerShell, T-SQL, Azure CLI, and infrastructure-as-code practices.
Experience managing production incidents, outages, root-cause analysis, and database change management.
Graduate degree or equivalent education.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with Azure SQL automatic tuning, Database Advisor, elastic pools, geo-replication, and cost optimization.
Knowledge of Microsoft Entra authentication, managed identities, encryption, auditing, vulnerability remediation, and compliance evidence.
Experience mentoring support teams, improving operational runbooks, and reducing recurring incidents through preventive engineering and automation.
Experience with major outage management, stakeholder communications, and vendor escalations.
