Cloud Operations Database Engineer

Qualifications and requirements

• Solid hands-on experience managing production MS SQL Server databases.
• Working knowledge of Azure (AWS experience is a plus).
• Comfortable working day-to-day on Windows Server; Linux familiarity is a plus.
• Conversational English — you’ll work daily with US-based and global teams.

• A learning mindset.
• Oracle, Infrastructure as Code, or experience in a regulated environment are all nice to have — none are required.

AI steering & leverage

• Comfort using AI tools (Copilot, Claude, or similar) to work more efficiently on operational tasks.

• Bonus if you’ve used an AI assistant in real operational or engineering work — bring an example if you have one.

• We value the judgment to verify AI output before acting on production, not just familiarity with the tools.
