Responsibilities of the Database Administrator Role:
In addition to planning and executing on larger projects designed to push some or all the entire team forwards you'll also be responsible for the following kinds of work:
• Reviewing SQL pull requests - the development team see PRs as an excellent learning opportunity, and we'll expect you to help educate and work with the wider team to deliver the 'best' (most appropriate) solution.
• Triaging and reacting to alerts - whether automating them away or reviewing the true exceptions that bubble up, you need to keep our servers running with a clean bill of health.
• Performance tuning specific SQL or applications - sometimes the perfect v1 design doesn't scale to v2 data volumes, and we must roll up our sleeves and optimize appropriately (wall clock, CPU, memory)
• Review our baselines and plan any work required - whether space, performance & scalability (CPU/IO), or security - our business doesn't stand still, so neither will any of our baselines.
• Work closely with the product team when developing new solutions to ensure they are scalable and manageable.
