  • Proven experience operating high-availability, business-critical database environments is required.
  • AI-native capability in tool-augmented automation, retrieval-grounded diagnostics, evaluation loops, and safe action boundaries is required.

Responsibilities

  • Administer SAP HANA databases across development, quality, and production environments.
  • Perform installation, configuration, upgrades, patches, revisions, and database migrations with minimal disruption.
  • Manage database start and stop operations, system replication, backups, restores, and recovery operations.
  • Monitor and tune HANA memory, CPU, disk, and I/O utilization to meet performance service-level agreements.

  • Implement data protection and privacy controls for sensitive enterprise data.
  • Build database operations agents that analyze telemetry, including metrics, logs, alerts, and SQL behavior, to detect anomalies and early warning signs of degradation and recommend or execute pre-approved tuning and corrective actions.
  • Use retrieval-grounded intelligence drawing from runbooks, historical incidents, configuration baselines, and performance guides to ensure AI recommendations are accurate and auditable.
  • Enable conversational diagnostics for database administrators and architects.
  • Implement predictive alerting for capacity exhaustion, performance regression, and instability.
  • Design self-healing workflows with safeguards, including automated remediation, verification checks, rollback logic, and human approvals for high-impact actions.
  • Continuously improve detection and remediation accuracy using feedback loops.
  • Define key performance indicators for database health, stability, and AI effectiveness, including false alerts, tuning accuracy, and mean time to resolution reduction.
  • Establish evaluation harnesses using simulated incidents, golden configurations, and historical workloads.
  • Continuously refine AI prompts, tools, and automation logic based on real production outcomes.
  • Partner with Basis, application, integration, and infrastructure teams to ensure end-to-end system reliability.
