Responsibilities

Own the end-to-end data architecture for enterprise SaaS (OLTP + analytical serving), including Azure SQL/MI, Databricks/Delta Lake, ADLS, Synapse/Fabric, and collaboration on Power BI semantic models (RLS, performance)
Define and implement Information Lifecycle Management (ILM): hot/warm/cold tiers, 2-year OLTP retention, archive/nearline, and a BI mirror that enables rich analytics without impacting production workloads
Engineer ERP/SAP financial interfaces for idempotency, reconciliation, and traceability; design rollback/de-dup strategies and financial journal integrity controls
Govern schema evolution/DbVersions to prevent cross-customer regressions while achieving performance gains
Establish data SLOs (freshness, latency, correctness) mapped to customer SLAs; instrument monitoring/alerting and drive continuous improvement
Build observability for pipelines and interfaces (logs/metrics/traces, lineage, data quality gates) and correlate application telemetry (e.g., Stackify/Retrace) with DB performance for rapid root cause analysis
Create incident playbooks (reprocess, reconcile, rollback) and drive MTTR down across data incidents
Lead the DBA/DB engineering function (standards, reviews, capacity planning, HA/DR, on-call, performance/availability SLOs) and mentor data engineers
Partner with Product/Projects/BI to shape domain models that meet demanding customer reporting (e.g., Tyson Matrix) and planning needs without compromising OLTP
