• Collaborate with platform architects and developers to align database architecture with business and application requirements.
• Leverage advanced PostgreSQL features (e.g., JSON/JSONB, window functions, partitioning, PostGIS, custom extensions).

Performance Optimization

• Monitor database performance using tools like pgAdmin, pg_stat_statements, and APM platforms (New Relic, Datadog).
• Optimize queries, indexing strategies, and resource utilization.
• Analyze query plans (EXPLAIN), identify bottlenecks, and implement improvements.

Maintenance & Automation

• Schedule and automate regular maintenance tasks (backups, indexing, vacuuming, defragmentation) using pg_cron, Ansible, or cloud automation tools.
• Implement database clustering and replication for high availability and disaster recovery.

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

• Work closely with platform engineering, SRE, and application teams to support CI/CD and DevOps initiatives.
• Participate in architecture reviews, capacity planning, and performance testing.
• Stay current with PostgreSQL advancements and contribute to process improvements.

• Project Experience: Proven track record of supporting large-scale, high-availability PostgreSQL deployments, including cloud (Azure, AWS) and on-prem platforms.
