Key Responsibilities
Database Migration Planning and Execution -
o Lead the design, planning, and execution of database migrations from on-
premises or other cloud environments to GCP.
o Assess current database environments and create comprehensive migration
strategies, including analysis of application dependencies, downtime
requirements, and risk mitigation.
o Utilize tools such as Google Database Migration Service, Cloud Data Fusion,
and
third-party solutions to facilitate seamless migrations while ensuring data
integrity and minimal disruption.
Database Architecture and Optimization -
o Design and implement scalable database architectures using GCP’s managed
database services, such as Cloud SQL, BigQuery, Cloud Spanner, Firestore,
and Cloud Datastore.
o Optimize database performance through schema design, indexing, partitioning,
sharding, and query optimization techniques tailored for cloud environments.
o Architect database solutions that ensure high availability, disaster
recovery, and
data replication across GCP regions.
Cloud Database Management -
o Manage and administer databases deployed on GCP services, monitoring
performance using tools like Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Logging, and third-party
solutions.
o Implement and maintain automated backups, disaster recovery plans, and
security protocols to safeguard database environments.
o Collaborate with cloud engineers and DevOps teams to automate database
deployments and configuration management using tools
like Terraform and Google Cloud Deployment Manager.
Collaboration and Stakeholder Engagement -
o Work closely with application development, data engineering, and IT
operations
teams to align database solutions with business requirements.
o Communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical
stakeholders, providing guidance on best practices for database architecture
and
migration.
o Collaborate with external vendors, consultants, and partners to ensure
successful project delivery and integration of advanced database solutions.
Security, Compliance, and Governance -
o Implement data security best practices, including encryption, identity access
management (IAM), and network security configurations to protect sensitive
data.
o Ensure compliance with industry regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA) and
organizational policies throughout the migration and implementation processes.
o Establish data governance policies and manage access controls to secure
database environments and maintain data integrity.
Continuous Improvement and Documentation -
o Document database architecture, migration processes, and best practices to
create reusable playbooks for future projects.
o Stay up-to-date with GCP database services, new features, and best practices
to
continually enhance the database architecture and migration processes.
o Identify opportunities for automation and improvement in existing processes
to
increase efficiency and reduce manual efforts.

Engineer, Professional Cloud Architect) are a plus.
7+ years of experience in database architecture and management, with 3+ years
of
hands-on experience specifically with database migration projects to GCP.
Strong expertise in GCP database services such as Cloud SQL (MySQL, PostgreSQL,
SQL
Server), BigQuery, Cloud Spanner, Firestore, and Cloud Datastore.
Proven experience in using migration tools like Google Database Migration
Service, Cloud Data Fusion, or third-party solutions such as Striim or
Datastream.
In-depth knowledge of database management systems (DBMS)
like Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and NoSQL databases.
Demonstrated skills in designing and optimizing cloud-native database
architectures,
ensuring performance, scalability, and security.
Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform and
Google Cloud
Deployment Manager for automating database deployments and configurations.
Experience with database performance tuning, backup and restore procedures,
disaster
recovery, and security best practices in cloud environments.
Preferred Skills -
GCP certifications such as Professional Data Engineer or Professional Cloud
Architect.
Experience with multi-cloud and hybrid cloud database migration strategies and
implementations.
Familiarity with Kubernetes and containerized database management (e.g.,
deploying
databases within GKE clusters).
Experience in data governance, compliance frameworks, and implementing database
policies to ensure adherence to regulatory standards.
Knowledge of big data and real-time processing technologies, such as Apache
Beam, Cloud Dataflow, or Apache Kafka.
