We are seeking an experienced Senior SQL Server Database Administrator (DBA) with strong hands-on expertise in Microsoft SQL Server and Azure SQL technologies.

The successful candidate will be responsible for managing, optimizing, securing, and supporting enterprise-scale SQL Server environments across on-premises infrastructure and Microsoft Azure.

This role requires deep expertise in SQL Server performance tuning, Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance, high availability, disaster recovery, database migrations, automation, and production incident management.

You will operate at an advanced L3 support level, taking ownership of critical database infrastructure, resolving complex production issues, and driving continuous improvements in database performance, availability, security, and reliability.

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.

3. High Availability & Disaster Recovery

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.

Strong knowledge of Always On Availability Groups, clustering, replication, backup, and recovery.
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.
