## Description

The Database Administrator (DBA) is responsible for providing operational and application database services to the organization. Primary responsibilities include owning, tracking, and resolving database-related incidents and requests; monitoring and maintaining database health through backups, maintenance jobs, and index management; and supporting performance and security requirements.
This role involves daily monitoring to identify and address service-related issues, responding to database alerts and escalations, and collaborating with management and other teams on solutions to recurring problems. The DBA role requires a service-oriented mentality and a high sense of ownership. The DBA is expected to continually look for areas of improvement in projects, products, and processes to ensure efficiency, consistency, and accuracy. Self-direction and the ability to manage and allocate your time across multiple simultaneous projects are keys for success.
Responsibilities:

 * Design, create, and maintain database objects including indexes, views, stored procedures, tables, and other schema elements in on-premise and cloud environments.
 * Monitor and maintain database health by reviewing and responding to backup status, maintenance jobs, index health, and daily operational alerts.
 * Perform database user and security management: create logins and users, manage roles and access privileges, and support compliance requirements.
 * Plan, implement, and maintain backup, restore, and recovery procedures; verify backup success and support restore testing.
 * Participate in investigation and resolution of database incidents including blocking, deadlocks, and performance degradation.
 * Optimize existing queries and procedures; develop efficient T-SQL using execution plans, system views, and indexing best practices.
 * Refresh development and test environment databases on a regular basis to support QA and development teams.
 * Assist in building and maintaining database monitoring infrastructure for alerting, performance data collection, and operational visibility.
 * Support implementation of database changes and code deployments; work with the Architecture team on coding standards for stored procedures, triggers, and schema design.
 * Perform feasibility studies and effort estimates for new or revised database systems to address business needs.
 * Install, upgrade, and maintain database instances required for development, testing, and production usage.
 * General technical troubleshooting and consultation with Quality Assurance, Application Development, and Infrastructure teams.
 * Work with multiple departments including Architecture, Quality Assurance, Application Development, and Infrastructure to implement and maintain database code and configurations.
