  • Maintain deployment records, version references, implementation notes, and rollback documentation.
  • Support lower-environment refreshes, testing activities, and post-deployment validation checks.
  • Participate in change implementation activities under guidance from senior team members.

6. Documentation and Governance

  • Maintain accurate database administration, support, and operational documentation.
  • Ensure database configurations, procedures, environments, and support activities are appropriately documented.
