Skills you'll use

What you'll do

• Production database administration
• Administering the SQL Server estate across the four in-scope platforms and their hosting models.
• Running backup and restore against defined recovery objectives, including regular restore testing rather than assumed recoverability.
• Operating availability and replication configurations, and monitoring their health daily.
• Managing database security to a least-privilege model: access provisioning and review, permissions, auditing on production systems.
• Proactive maintenance and health
• Running and extending scheduled maintenance across the estate — index and statistics upkeep, integrity checks, health baselines — automated and measured rather than run by hand.
• Building the baseline picture of what normal looks like for each platform, so degradation is visible before it becomes an incident.
• Maintaining monitoring and alerting coverage, and tuning alert thresholds so what fires is worth acting on.
• Tracking database growth and capacity, and raising where headroom is running out ahead of it biting.

Who can apply

• Investigating and resolving performance problems: execution plan analysis, indexing strategy, statistics, blocking and deadlocks, wait statistics.
• Tuning problem queries, and taking the ones needing a code change back to the development teams with the evidence.
• Supporting the overnight data warehouse loads the reporting estate depends on, including diagnosis when a load runs long or fails.
• Acting as database escalation for production incidents raised by the 24/7 application support team.
• Owning incidents through to root cause and closing them out with a fix, rather than restoring service and moving on.
• Running the daily handover with the other Pune resource, so work in progress, open incidents and overnight events carry across the shift boundary without loss.
• Writing and maintaining runbooks, to the standard where another team member can follow them unaided during cover.
• Automating recurring work with T-SQL and PowerShell so it runs to schedule and reports on itself.
