Diagnose complex query deadlocks, optimize slow-running execution plans, and implement tight security controls.
-
Be part of the physical data center escalation rotation for hardware failures, catastrophic recovery, and emergency maintenance.
-
Collaborate face-to-face with system administrators and network security teams to patch vulnerabilities immediately.
Required Skills & Qualifications:
-
Work Mode: 100% On-site requirement with participation in physical server room maintenance.
-
Core Skills: Deep expertise in MySQL internals, InnoDB architecture, Linux (RHEL/Ubuntu) administration, and Bash shell scripting.
-
Reliability: Proven track record of managing enterprise uptime, incident handling, and on-call accountability.
