Maintain documentation for database architecture, standards, procedures, and change management records

Familiarity with Windows Server administration as it relates to SQL Server (2016 or later)
Experience supporting SQL Server in cloud or hybrid environments (Azure SQL, Azure VMs, or AWS RDS) is an asset
Working knowledge of PowerShell or other scripting languages for automation of routine DBA tasks is an asset
Post-secondary diploma or degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent experience
Microsoft certification (e.g., Azure Database Administrator Associate, or equivalent SQL Server certification) is an asset
