• Develop and deliver technical training, documentation, and best practices related to SQL Server administration and troubleshooting.
• Identify recurring technical challenges and recommend process improvements, automation opportunities, and preventative solutions.
• Support complex customer implementations, upgrades, migrations, disaster recovery planning, and database maintenance activities.
• Collaborate with Product Management and Development to investigate software defects, validate fixes, and support product improvements.
• Create and maintain internal knowledge base articles, troubleshooting guides, and standard operating procedures.
