  • Capacity Planning & Cost Optimization: Forecast resource utilization across platforms. Identify cost-saving opportunities, optimize Snowflake credit usage, and right-size AWS infrastructure.
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Orchestration: Automate all data infrastructure using Terraform, AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes. You will manage containerized data services and stateful workloads.
  • CI/CD & Release Management: Manage and optimize deployment pipelines using GitLab and Octopus Deploy, ensuring safe, repeatable database schema changes.
  • Documentation & Knowledge Sharing: Create technical documentation, including runbooks, "how-to" guides for developer self-service, and clear architectural diagrams.
  • On-Call & Triage: Serve as the subject matter expert for SQL Server, Postgres, and Snowflake in a 24/7/365 on-call rotation.

    • Qualifications
  • DBA Fundamentals: 8+ years of experience maintaining and optimizing high-traffic production databases, specifically Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL
  • Expert knowledge in Snowflake.

  • Containerization & Orchestration: Expert-level knowledge of Docker and production experience running stateful applications within Kubernetes (K8s).
  • AI & Integration: Knowledge of MCP (Model Context Protocol) and experience using LLMs to assist in coding or system automation.
  • Scripting & Programming: Expert-level Python and PowerShell skills. Familiarity with C# and object-oriented programming (OOP).ORM Optimization: Expert in tuning queries generated from ORMs (Entity Framework, Dapper, etc.).
  • The Data Stack: Hands-on experience with Snowflake (packaging/testing) and DynamoDB.
  • Familiarity with OpenSearch, Redis and DynamoDB.
