  • AI-Native Automation: Implement AI-driven query optimization, anomaly detection, and predictive scaling using performance telemetry.
  • Performance & Optimization: Continuously tune schema, indexing, and query design to achieve sub-second responses and minimal cost per transaction.
  • Security & Compliance: Manage encryption, secrets, access control, and data integrity across multi-cloud environments; enforce least-privilege and zero-trust policies.
  • Disaster Recovery & Backups: Design automated backup, replication, and restore workflows with near-zero data loss objectives.

  • Deep understanding of indexing, replication, partitioning, and sharding in distributed systems.
  • Proven experience with AWS RDS / DynamoDB / Cassandra or GCP equivalents.
  • Strong in SQL tuning, query plan analysis, and capacity planning for high-concurrency workloads.

  • Familiarity with IoT telemetry or event-driven architectures (Kafka, MQTT, TimescaleDB).
  • Solid grounding in data security and privacy best practices (encryption, RBAC, audit logs, GDPR).
