Must have hands-on experience provisioning, configuring, and scaling SQL Server Environments (including Availability Groups and FCI) using Terraform or Ansible.
Advanced PowerShell: Advanced proficiency in automation scripting, environment validation and configuration management at scale.
AI-Driven Performance Tuning: Familiarity with leveraging AI Powered performance tools (SQL Automatic tuning, Intelligent Query processing) to predict, diagnose and auto-remediate performance bottlenecks
Strong engineering capabilities in bridging on premises with cloud capabilities (eg. AWS EC2/RDS)
