Contribute to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) initiatives related to database provisioning and configuration management.

Backup, Recovery & Business Continuity

Design, implement, and maintain Oracle RMAN backup strategies for Exadata and SE environments, including full, incremental, and archived log backup policies.
Perform and validate periodic recovery tests to confirm backup integrity and meet RTO/RPO objectives.
Manage Data Pump (expdp/impdp) exports for logical backups, environment refreshes, and data migration.
Maintain backup and recovery runbooks, escalation procedures, and incident documentation.
Respond to and lead database recovery efforts during incidents, ensuring minimal data loss and rapid restoration.

Collaboration & Documentation

Partner with application teams, infrastructure engineers, and customer success managers to resolve database-related issues.
Contribute to internal knowledge base and Confluence documentation for SOPs, runbooks, and architecture references.
Participate in on-call rotation to support production databases during off-hours incidents.
Mentor junior DBA team members and provide technical guidance on best practices.
