• Monitor and tune database and SQL performance using AWR, ASH, ADDM, execution plans, and Oracle Enterprise Manager.
• Design, run, and regularly test backup and recovery using RMAN, with documented RPO and RTO targets.
• Implement and maintain high availability and disaster recovery with Data Guard and, where used, RAC.
• Manage schema changes and data migrations through automated, version-controlled pipelines (for example Liquibase) integrated with CI/CD.
• Enforce database security: users, roles, privileges, auditing, encryption (TDE), and patching to meet government compliance standards such as NIST 800-53.
• Support application development teams with schema design, batch job tuning, and release deployments.
• Plan capacity and storage, and track growth trends across environments.
• Respond to database incidents, perform root-cause analysis, and take part in an after-hours on-call rotation.
• Write and maintain runbooks, standards, and operational documentation.
• Work with developers, DevOps engineers, and client stakeholders to plan maintenance windows and releases.
