The primary goal of this role is to ensure an optimal user experience for clients through maintaining healthy, high-performing databases, achieved through continuous monitoring using Redgate Monitor.

The secondary responsibility involves generating ad-hoc reports and performing data updates where the user interface does not support client data changes.

The tertiary focus includes managing deployments across development, UAT, pre-production, and production environments, with database versioning handled via Redgate Flyway.

We are a dynamic, growth-oriented organization seeking a proactive and skilled SQL Database Administrator to enhance and maintain our database environments, utilizing Redgate tools extensively for monitoring, troubleshooting, and optimization.

Key Responsibilities:
  1. Database Monitoring & Maintenance:
    • Proactively use Redgate tools to identify, diagnose, and resolve performance and reliability issues.
    • Continuously monitor and fine-tune database systems for optimal performance.
  2. Deployment & Version Control:

    • Maintain robust version control across multiple environments.
  3. Performance Optimization:

    • Implement proactive database tuning strategies.
  4. SQL Operations:
    • Execute and troubleshoot SQL scripts for data fixes, batch processing, or analytics.
    • Perform manual database updates when necessary.
    • Generate reports and extract datasets via custom SQL queries.
  5. Backup & Recovery:
    • Develop, implement, and maintain backup and disaster recovery strategies.
    • Test data recovery procedures regularly.
  6. Collaboration & Support:
    • Support internal database needs in collaboration with development teams.
    • Provide technical support and expertise without direct client-facing responsibilities.
  7. Continuous Improvement:
    • Stay current with SQL Server and Redgate toolset advancements.
    • Explore emerging technologies like DynamoDB to enhance infrastructure.
Requirements
  • Preferred Qualifications:
    • Relevant IT or Database Administration certification or equivalent practical experience.
    • Minimum 2-3 years of practical DBA experience.
  • Technical Skills:
    • Strong proficiency with SQL Server and T-SQL.
    • Familiarity with Redgate tools is desirable but not essential.
  • Desirable Skills:
    • Interest or exposure to DynamoDB or other NoSQL databases.
  • Soft Skills:
