I’m looking for a seasoned database administrator to take charge of our SQL Server environment for a Bank of India–related platform. The immediate focus is on keeping the core banking data layer fast, resilient, and secure. Here’s what the assignment covers: • Database optimisation – analyse slow queries, tune indexes, and improve overall throughput without disrupting live operations. • Backup & recovery – design and automate point-in-time backups, test restores regularly, and document the full recovery strategy. • Security management – harden user roles, apply the latest patches, set up auditing, and make sure compliance standards are met. You’ll be handed full access to a staging instance first, followed by production once proposed changes are approved. Deliver clean documentation for every change, plus a short hand-over call at the end so our internal team can maintain continuity.
