- 6+ years as an MSSQL DBA, at expert level: query optimization, execution plans, indexing strategy, locking and concurrency, T-SQL.
- Proven experience with large-scale databases: high volume, high concurrency, multiterabyte, and the tuning that comes with that scale.
- Hands-on production experience with Amazon Redshift, or a comparable MPP warehouse (Snowflake, BigQuery) with willingness to go deep on Redshift.
- Schema versioning and migration tooling integrated into CI/CD (we use Flyway; Liquibase or similar experience transfers).
- Strong HA/DR, backup/recovery, and replication experience.
- Scripting for automation (PowerShell, Python, or similar).
- Practical experience using AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, or similar) to produce real work: scripts, queries, automation, documentation.
Nice to Have:
- Experience migrating from MSSQL to PostgreSQL: schema and stored procedure conversion, data migration, application cutover.
- Cloud database experience on AWS (RDS)
- Multi-tenant SaaS environments
- MongoDB or other non-relational engines
- ETL/ELT tooling and modern data stack exposure
- Database security and compliance (SOC 2, GDPR)
