Database Management & Analysis

• Provision, configure, and maintain database infrastructure across MS SQL Server and PostgreSQL environments (RDS or self-managed)
• Own backup, recovery, and disaster recovery strategy for all production databases
• Monitor database health, performance, and capacity — including query performance, connection pooling, storage growth, and replication lag
• Perform routine database maintenance: indexing, vacuuming/statistics updates, patching, and version upgrades
• Set up and maintain database monitoring/alerting dashboards to proactively catch performance degradation or failures
• Analyse slow queries and work with developers to identify and resolve performance bottlenecks
• Manage database access controls, user permissions, and audit logging for compliance and security
• Support data migration, replication, and synchronisation across environments (staging, production, multi-country deployments)
• Produce periodic reports/dashboards on database performance, growth trends, and infrastructure cost to support planning decisions
• Collaborate with backend developers on schema changes, deployment of stored procedures, and release coordination to minimise downtime

Required Skills & Experience

• Minimum 2 years of DevOps or cloud infrastructure experience, with meaningful exposure to database administration
• Hands-on experience with AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, IAM, CloudWatch, at minimum)
• Practical experience managing MS SQL Server and/or PostgreSQL in production environments
• Experience with CI/CD tooling (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar)
• Familiarity with containerisation (Docker) and orchestration basics
• Working knowledge of Linux server administration
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar)
• Understanding of networking fundamentals (DNS, load balancing, VPNs, security groups)
• Basic scripting ability (Bash, Python, or SQL) for automation and reporting
• Ability to read and reason about SQL queries and execution plans for performance troubleshooting

Good to Have

• Experience supporting multi-tenant SaaS or ERP-style systems
• AWS certification (e.g., Solutions Architect Associate, SysOps Administrator, or Database Specialty)
• Experience with database monitoring tools (e.g., pgAdmin, SQL Server Management Studio, Datadog, or similar)
• Experience working with distributed teams or customers across multiple countries
• Familiarity with GIS/geospatial infrastructure or offline-sync architectures
• Basic data analysis skills (e.g., building reports from database metrics using SQL or BI tools)
