- Join the 24/7 on-call rotation, resolve incidents and lead root cause analysis

- Document procedures and decisions in the internal developer portal

WHAT YOU BRING

- 3+ years as a DBA, Platform Engineer, Dev Ops Engineer or DBRE

- Hands-on production experience with SQL Server and T-SQL (2016 or earlier versions count)

- Database changes managed in Git and deployed through pipelines (Azure Dev Ops, Git Hub Actions, Git Lab or Jenkins)

- Scripting for automation: Power Shell, Python or Bash

- Strong troubleshooting in production environments

- English B2-C1 (you'll use it every day with the engineering team) and Spanish

- Based in Medellín or willing to relocate

NICE TO HAVE

- AWS (preferred cloud) or Azure

- Flyway, Liquibase, Redgate, DACPAC or Db Up

- Terraform or other Infrastructure as Code

- Linux and networking basics (VPC, DNS, load balancers)
