Perform SQL Server administration, including patching, cumulative updates, version upgrades, documentation, and support for Azure-based SQL Server environments.
Evaluate and support modernization initiatives by piloting Azure-native and Databricks-based solutions, including database migrations across on-premises and cloud environments in partnership with database leadership.
Participate in a rotating 24x7 on-call schedule and provide off-hours support as required to ensure the availability and reliability of critical database systems.

A minimum of 6 years of experience administering Microsoft SQL Server (2016–2022) in enterprise environments, including at least 3 years in a senior or lead technical capacity

Experience leading or contributing to architecture/modernization roadmap discussions

Other Skills and Abilities:
