Optimize complex T-SQL queries, stored procedures, indexing, statistics, partitioning, memory, and TempDB.
Troubleshoot CPU, storage I/O, blocking, deadlocks, locking, and transaction log issues.
Identify query-plan regressions, establish performance baselines, and implement measurable improvements.

Design and maintain Always On Availability Groups, failover groups, clustering, replication, and log shipping.
Manage database backup, restoration, and point-in-time recovery.
Develop and validate disaster recovery strategies and procedures.

4. Azure Cloud & Database Modernization

Manage Azure SQL service tiers, elastic pools, scaling, geo-replication, and private connectivity.
Lead database migrations, upgrades, patching, consolidation, and cloud modernization initiatives.
Optimize Azure database performance and infrastructure costs.

5. Security & Compliance

Implement database security, least-privilege access, Microsoft Entra authentication, and managed identities.
Manage encryption, auditing, vulnerability remediation, and compliance requirements.
Maintain secure database configurations and access controls.

6. Automation & Production Support

Automate database provisioning, maintenance, monitoring, health checks, and backup validation.
Utilize PowerShell, T-SQL, Azure CLI, and Infrastructure-as-Code practices.
Own critical P1/P2 incidents, perform root-cause analysis, and implement corrective actions.
Maintain operational documentation, dashboards, runbooks, and recovery procedures.
Mentor L1/L2 support teams and collaborate with technical stakeholders.

Required Qualifications & Technical Skills

Experience in database migrations, upgrades, patching, and modernization.
Automation experience using PowerShell, T-SQL, and Azure CLI.
Experience handling production incidents, outages, root-cause analysis, and change management.
Graduate degree or equivalent education.
