Senior Database Administrator

At Rocket India, we don't just store data - we unlock its power to transform how people find, finance, and keep their homes. Our data platforms are the foundation upon which intelligent decisions are made at speed and scale, and we need a seasoned Snowflake Database Administrator to own that foundation with confidence and precision.

• Monitor query history, identify performance bottlenecks, tune slow-running queries, and track credit consumption to systematically reduce cloud spend
• Configure and maintain cross-region replication, failover strategies, disaster recovery plans, and time-travel/fail-safe retention policies for comprehensive data protection
• Partner with data engineers and CI/CD pipelines to support schema evolutions, code deployments, and database migrations with minimal disruption
• Establish best practices, runbooks, and operational standards for Snowflake administration across the organization
• Proactively identify risks, capacity constraints, and optimization opportunities before they impact production workloads
