Respond to production incidents, identify root causes, resolve issues, and coordinate deployments and recovery activities with infrastructure and application teams.
Troubleshoot and tune database and ETL performance through query and execution plan analysis, addressing bottlenecks to improve reliability, throughput, and scalability.
Maintain database access controls, permissions, password management, and auditability to protect data integrity and meet enterprise security standards.
Enhance existing pipelines, stored procedures, and database objects, and develop new ETL processes as needed using SQL Server, SSIS, and, where applicable, Azure Data Factory or Microsoft Fabric.
Maintain and improve data models, data marts, and database structures that support enterprise processing, operational reporting, and downstream integrations.
Create and maintain runbooks, source-to-target mappings, data dictionaries, process documentation, and data flow diagrams to support ongoing operations.
Partner with Application Development, Corporate Technologies, business stakeholders, and adjacent engineering teams to resolve data issues and improve processes.
Support cloud migration and modernization evaluations, connecting current on-premises operations with potential cloud and Microsoft Fabric capabilities.
Participate in code reviews, mentor junior team members, and automate recurring support tasks to improve monitoring and operational resilience.
