• Automate routine maintenance, backups, and failover procedures to minimize downtime.
• Troubleshoot database issues, identify bottlenecks, and implement long-term fixes.
• Manage user permissions, roles, and data security policies to protect sensitive information.
• Monitor performance metrics and usage trends to proactively plan for scaling and capacity.
• Ensure data integrity through regular audits, consistency checks, and disaster recovery planning.

Evaluate and implement new tools or technologies to improve database operations.

• Create and maintain documentation for database systems, procedures, and protocols.

• 3–5 years of hands-on experience as a Database Administrator—bonus points for startup or high-growth environments
• Strong SQL skills and experience with database platforms like Microsoft SQL Server PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, or similar
• Experience with performance tuning, replication, and high-availability setups
• Knowledge of database security best practices, encryption, and access control
• Familiarity with scripting (e.g., Python, Bash) and automation tools
• A proactive mindset with a focus on reliability, performance, and continuous improvement
