• When appropriate you will lead on complex database tasks such as Information Lifecycle Management (ILM), very large table modifications, advanced query tuning and data migrations.
• Use your training budget and work time to keep up to date, and sometimes drive industry data platform trends and technology adoption.
• Collaborate with colleagues, application development teams, and with business stakeholders.
• Cross train peers in database development and administration. They will do the same for you.
• Provide out of hours production support as part of a 24/7 rota.
