  9. Implement infrastructure as code (IaC) using tools like Terraform or CloudFormation to automate and scale infrastructure.
  10. Optimize server configuration, scaling strategies, and monitoring for web applications hosted on cloud platforms or on-premises environments.
  11. Manage and monitor containers (e.g., Docker) and orchestration tools (e.g., Kubernetes) to ensure application stability and scalability.
  12. Ensure system security and compliance, working closely with the cybersecurity team to implement the best practices in access control, auditing, and monitoring.

Cross-Functional Responsibilities:

  1. Participate in on-call rotations and be available for troubleshooting critical infrastructure issues when necessary.
  2. Document configurations, policies, and procedures for both database administration and DevOps practices.
  3. Conduct training sessions or knowledge-sharing workshops with team members to ensure a culture of continuous learning.
  4. Travel as required to collaborate with global teams, implement projects onsite, and support infrastructure in various locations.

Qualifications:

  1. Education: Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Technology, or a related field.
  2. Experience: Minimum of 3-5 years in a combined DBA and DevOps role, or equivalent experience.
  3. Skills:
