This role focuses on infrastructure-oriented data platforms, database modernization, data movement for migrations, and operational datasets—not BI or analytics.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the design of hybrid cloud data platforms, including storage tiers, database modernization, and operational data flows.
• Oversee database assessment, consolidation, and migration for infrastructure and application-related datasets (Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL).
• Define ingestion and transformation patterns for infra telemetry, configuration/state data, asset inventories, and migration data.
• Architect cloud-managed database solutions (Azure SQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL Flexible Server, AWS RDS, Cloud SQL) aligned to modernization initiatives.
• Establish governance for schema changes, metadata, lineage, retention, and DB security controls across hybrid environments.
• Lead design of operational data pipelines that support infra monitors, migration factory workflows, topology mapping, and system state analytics.
• Collaborate with Cloud Architects and Infra SMEs to integrate DB workloads with IAM, encryption, networking, and observability platforms.
• Govern LLDs, DB migration runbooks, schema modernization plans, and operational data documentation.
• Mentor teams on database best practices for cloud adoption, performance tuning, indexing, lifecycle policies, and storage optimization.
• Ensure data platform compliance with enterprise governance, DR/backup requirements, DB security posture, and access controls.
  
  

• Up to 14 years in cloud engineering, infra modernization, or hybrid data platform roles with deep exposure to databases.
• Strong experience with RDBMS platforms:
• Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL
• Cloud-managed DBs (Azure SQL, AWS RDS, Cloud SQL)
• Hands-on skills in DB schema design, normalization, indexing, partitioning, backup/restore, and performance optimization.
• Strong SQL and scripting skills (Python, PowerShell, Bash) for DB automation and data operations.
• Understanding of cloud storage tiers, IAM, networking, encryption, backup policies, logging, and governance frameworks.
• Experience with ETL/ELT workflows supporting infra and migration data (not BI/analytics).
• Bachelor’s degree in IT/CS or related field, cloud certifications preferred.
  
  

• Experience with DB migration tools and strategies (DMS, native backups, replication-based migrations).
• Familiarity with IaC (Terraform/Bicep), pipelines, and observability platforms.
• Knowledge of DB governance, lineage, audit frameworks, and compliance requirements.
• Strong stakeholder management and architectural review experience.
