  • Performance Optimization & High Availability: Continuously monitor database health and optimize queries, indexes, and schema design to handle high-volume payment processing with minimal latency.
  • Data Security & PCI-DSS Compliance: Enforce robust security standards—including access controls, audit logging, data encryption (at rest and in transit), and PCI-DSS compliance—to protect payment data.
  • Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity: Formulate, implement, and test reliable backup, recovery, and failover strategies to guarantee transaction integrity and zero data loss.
  • Zero-Downtime Maintenance & Upgrades: Plan and execute regular database patches, upgrades, capacity scaling, and migrations with minimal impact on live payment services.

Required Qualifications

  • Database Administration Experience: 4+ years of hands-on DBA experience managing mission-critical production environments, with primary expertise in Oracle Database (tuning, backup/recovery, security, and HA).
  • Multi-Database Proficiency: Solid working experience with MySQL, PostgreSQL, and at least one NoSQL database (e.g., Redis, MongoDB, Cassandra, DynamoDB).
  • Cross-Database Migration Skills: Proven track record of planning and executing database migrations, specifically transitioning workloads from MySQL/PostgreSQL to Oracle.
  • Advanced SQL & Schema Design: Advanced proficiency in SQL tuning, query optimization, stored procedures, data modeling, and schema design optimized for transaction processing.
  • Security & Infrastructure Expertise: Deep knowledge of database security protocols, Linux/Unix administration, shell scripting for automation, and familiarity with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud deployments.
  • Incident Management & Collaboration: Strong problem-solving skills for rapid incident resolution under pressure, backed by excellent technical documentation and communication capabilities.
