• Own and maintain Liquibase changelogs and execute controlled database migrations across Dev, QA, Staging,

• Integrate database deployment workflows into CI/CD pipelines ensuring automated, repeatable, and auditable
releases
• Enforce DevSecOps best practices - implement database security controls, conduct periodic access reviews, and
support compliance audits
• Collaborate with software developers to review ORM models, optimize slow queries, and support application
database requirements
• Monitor database health using AWS CloudWatch and custom alerting; respond to and resolve incidents
• Manage database user accounts, roles, and permissions following least-privilege principles
• Develop and maintain documentation for database architecture, runbooks, and operational procedures
• Participate in on-call rotation for database-related production incidents

• Exposure to data warehousing concepts or AWS Redshift
