Work Arrangement: Hybrid (4 days per week on-site at the corporate office, 1 day work from home)

Advantages

High Extension & Conversion Potential: Establish a long-term career path within a world-class enterprise with a clear roadmap for contract renewals or full-time conversion.

True Engineering-First Mandate: Avoid repetitive maintenance tickets—spend your time designing self-service provisioning frameworks, writing automation scripts, and treating database infrastructure as software.

Modern Cloud-Native Tech Stack: Expand your professional profile by architecting high-throughput environments leveraging Microsoft Azure, Terraform, and cutting-edge database clustering.

Strategic Collaboration & Autonomy: Work inside an environment that champions technical ownership, offering you the mandate to partner across Cloud, Security, and AppDev teams to shape standard enterprise deployment blueprints.

Responsibilities

Platform Engineering & Lifecycle Automation

Automated Provisioning Frameworks: Design, build, and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) solutions and deployment templates to standardize and accelerate the rollout of cloud and on-premises data structures.

CI/CD Pipeline Integration: Develop and govern robust continuous integration and delivery pipelines for automated database releases, configurations, patches, and platform upgrades.

Lifecycle Scripting: Write clean, modular configuration management and automation scripts to handle routing tasks, including backups, health telemetry checks, and disaster recovery validations.

Source-Control Stewardship: Maintain and structure source-controlled deployment scripts and configuration repositories to guarantee reproducible test and production beds.

Database Architecture, Performance & Administration

Ecosystem Engineering: Build highly redundant Microsoft SQL Server environments from scratch across Development, QA, Production, and Disaster Recovery (DR) zones.

High-Availability Engineering: Implement and manage complex high-availability models, specifically including SQL Server Always On Availability Groups, Failover Clustering, Replication, and granular Backup/Recovery patterns.

Performance Tuning & Diagnostics: Conduct advanced performance tuning, query optimization, capacity planning, and full-stack infrastructure telemetry across databases, operating systems, and network links.

Cross-Functional Partnership: Partner with Cloud Engineering, Infrastructure, Security, and Application Development squads to safely deploy automated platform solutions and participate in major incident triage.

Qualifications

Experience: Extensive professional experience in database engineering, platform automation, or database administration (DBA) supporting mission-critical, enterprise-scale application layers.

Database Platform Mastery: Deep, hands-on command of Microsoft SQL Server installation, multi-tier clustering, performance tuning, and operational patching.

Cloud & OS Infrastructure Acuity: Solid operational understanding of Microsoft Azure components (Virtual Machines, Storage, Networking, Monitoring) coupled with hands-on Windows Server administration skills.

Automation & Scripting Fluency: Proven ability to build scripts independently using PowerShell.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Direct experience configuring and deploying environments using Terraform, Ansible, SaltStack, or comparable cloud-provisioning technologies.

CI/CD Integration Tooling: Functional experience managing versioned assets and pipelines utilizing Azure DevOps, GitHub, or Jenkins.

Soft Skills: Exceptional troubleshooting and root-cause analytical skills. A collaborative, self-motivated team player who can communicate complex infrastructure realities effectively to technical and non-technical peers alike.

Preferred Assets & Knowledge

Referenceable technical experience administering NoSQL architectures, specifically MongoDB and Apache Cassandra.

Foundational proficiency with Linux administration and container orchestration via Kubernetes.

Functional exposure to broader cloud ecosystems, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Databricks analytics environments.

Prior professional experience operating within the Financial Services or highly regulated enterprise industries.

Summary

If you are a tech-savvy Site Reliability Engineer who pairs an absolute command of Microsoft SQL Server and Azure infrastructure with the automation depth (Terraform, PowerShell) required to design self-service database pipelines, this 1-year hybrid contract is an exceptional professional platform. Bring your platform engineering precision, CI/CD pipeline discipline, and collaborative problem-solving style to our client's elite infrastructure transformation group today!
