Collaborate with application and infrastructure teams to ensure database reliability and efficiency.

Develop and maintain documentation, including runbooks and standard operating procedures.

Ensure compliance with security standards, policies, and best practices.

Proficiency in T-SQL development, performance tuning, and query optimization.

Solid understanding of backup / recovery strategies and database security.

Familiarity with PowerShell or automation tools for database administration is a plus.

Excellent problem-solving, communication, and documentation skills.
