- Design, implement, and maintain backup and recovery strategies using RMAN and Data Guard.
- Create and maintain operational documentation and configuration standards.

Performance Optimisation & Query Tuning

- Analyse and optimise SQL queries using execution plans, AWR/ASH reports, SQL Trace, and Oracle Diagnostics Pack.
- Identify and remediate inefficient SQL, poor indexing strategies, and suboptimal optimizer statistics.
- Investigate and resolve locking, blocking, and deadlock scenarios, including root cause analysis and long-term preventative measures.
- Work with application and engineering teams to improve query design, schema structures, and transaction handling.
- Tune memory structures (SGA/PGA), I/O, and resource usage to support high transaction volumes and low-latency workloads.

Cloud Technologies (AWS / OCI)

- Design and implement cloud-based database solutions using AWS RDS and OCI DBaaS.
- Perform hands-on migrations from on-premises to cloud environments using tools such as Oracle GoldenGate.
- Monitor and optimise cloud resource utilisation for performance, cost efficiency, and scalability.

Security & Compliance

- Carry out patching and vulnerability remediation in collaboration with infrastructure and security teams.
- Ensure systems meet compliance and regulatory requirements.

Monitoring & Incident Management

- Define and track technical KPIs related to database uptime, performance, reliability, and query efficiency.
- Use tools such as Oracle Diagnostics Pack, OEM, Zabbix, and Grafana to monitor system health and identify performance bottlenecks.
- Perform detailed root cause analysis for performance incidents, including SQL regressions, deadlocks, and resource contention.
- Implement permanent fixes and automation to prevent recurrence of operational issues.

Success will be evaluated by:

- Technical quality and impact of your hands-on contributions.
- Reliability, performance, and availability of database systems.
