About the role
As a Database Administrator, you will make an impact by operating, monitoring, and supporting on-premises database environments — delivering proactive performance management, backup and recovery, and schema lifecycle services in accordance with established standards. You will be a valued member of the Database Services team and work collaboratively with the Database Services Lead, application teams, and key stakeholders to ensure the availability, integrity, and performance of critical production databases.
In this role, you will:
- Monitor database performance and availability across enterprise environments; detect, isolate, diagnose, and resolve incidents — including coordinating planned and unplanned database startups, shutdowns, and outage communications to relevant stakeholders
- Perform schema lifecycle management including refresh, migration, recovery, and decommissioning; promote database objects across development, test, and production environments; and install patches and perform upgrades as directed
- Maintain backup processes, schedules, and replication activities (streams, materialized views, third-party tools); implement standby and Data Guard management and recovery procedures; and maintain rollback plans for database migrations
- Execute health checks and generate reports (AWR/Stats, alert logs, trace files, tablespace and data file capacity); maintain scheduled jobs, administrative scripts, and query log data for auditing purposes
- Administer logins, passwords, and resource limits per security guidelines; configure and monitor DB maintenance plans; and provide daily ticket reports and monthly reporting on accomplishments, volumes, outstanding issues, and proactive DBA activities
