Additional Information

Required Previous Experiences: Strong hands-on experience designing and operating high-volume, enterprise OLTP databases supporting mission-critical transactions.
Advanced SQL and performance tuning experience across MySQL and Oracle (query tuning, indexing, partitioning, execution plan analysis).
Experience with operational best practices: backup/restore validation, patch planning, monitoring/alerting, incident response, and runbooks.
Preferred Qualifications: Oracle Exadata experience (engineering/tuning/operations on Exadata platforms).
Oracle Data Guard experience (HA/DR, role transitions, validation of primary/standby states).
Oracle Golden Gate experience (replication design/operations).
Understanding of enterprise MySQL deployment/replication patterns (e.g., primary/replica cross-site patterns).
Owns significant components of the database platform (specific schemas/domains, key performance areas, or HA/DR operational ownership) with minimal guidance.
Responsible for technical workstreams (e.g., partitioning rollout, performance remediation, operational readiness) and drives them to closure.
Improves runbooks/automation; contributes to production incident response and prevention.
Owns end-to-end database architecture for the platform or a major program (e.g., enterprise transaction store modernization, MySQL→Oracle strategy, multi-site replication/DR patterns).
Sets standards and is an escalation point for complex performance and replication/DR tradeoffs.
Mentors engineers/DBAs, drives cross-team alignment, and influences roadmap decisions with measurable operational outcomes (availability, latency, stability).
Establishes and enforces engineering rigor: design reviews, operational readiness gates, and evidence-based performance validation.
