Data movement at scale: replication across distributed nodes, concurrent access, failover and high-availability engineering
Performance work: tuning, capacity and performance planning, issue investigation through resolution
Backup, recovery, and user administration
Schema translation — turning requirements and raw data into usable structures via ad hoc queries, scripts, and macros
Requirements analysis, risk assessment, and alternatives analysis for system-level problems
Long- and short-term database requirements for admin and design

Requirements

How you'll work: Embedded in an Agile team, interfacing with systems, software, test, and information assurance engineers. You'll contribute to Program Increment Planning and collaborate daily with technical peers and customer POCs.
