Skills

  • SQL Server

Summary

Role & Responsibilities
The SQL Server Engineer will have administration and management skills, augmented by performance tuning skills and troubleshooting skills. The SQL Server Engineer will be customer oriented. The SQL Server Engineer will be resolution and delivery oriented.
  • Primary need: someone who can install, maintain, and support SQL Server — not a data engineer focused on Databricks, Azure Data Factory, or cloud-native tools.
  • Responsibilities include infrastructure maintenance (patching, clustering, tuning, backups), T-SQL, insert/update operations, and API-to-database connectivity awareness.
  • Both proactive (monitoring backups, alerts) and reactive (ticket-based troubleshooting) work expected; client noted "everything is reactive" depending on accountability.
  • Candidate must be self-directed — no need for supervision; client referenced current contractor Wilson as the benchmark ("clone him and send me another one").
Technical Requirements
  • Must-have: SQL Server (on-premises and Azure VM), T-SQL, backup/restore, basic DBA tasks.
  • Five + years of experience in Windows failover cluster
  • Five + years of experience in SQL Server installation and patching
  • Five + years of experience in SQL Server cluster
  • Five + years of experience in SQL Server performance tuning
  • Good to have: Azure familiarity (environment uses Azure VMs and some managed instances, not Azure PaaS/Databricks).
  • Certification: good to have, not required, especially for candidates with 8–10 years of experience.
