The ideal candidate will have 8-10 years of hands-on experience in SQL Server Database Administration, with additional expertise in Oracle database management. A strong focus on database performance, reporting services, Data Warehousing, and large-scale database migrations is essential. This role is critical for ensuring the optimal performance, integrity, and security of our database systems.

Job Description:

The Senior Database Administrator will be responsible for managing and maintaining SQL Server and Oracle databases, ensuring high performance, availability, and security.

The role requires expertise in performance tuning, indexing, and query optimization for both environments, as well as designing and implementing Data Warehousing solutions and supporting reporting services (SSRS, SSIS, SSAS) and developing ETL processes. Additionally, the DBA will lead large-scale database migration projects—both homogeneous (e.g., SQL Server to SQL Server) and heterogeneous (e.g., Oracle to SQL Server)—while managing database replication, high availability, and scalability solutions. A critical aspect of the role is ensuring data security, compliance, and seamless integration with development and operations teams to support business objectives and minimal downtime.
