It plays a key role in supporting Banyan’s global businesses through technology, security, and software development. TechGrove brings together India’s deep pool of technical talent with Banyan’s long-term approach to growth, creating a trusted, developer-focused environment where people can do their best work.
About the Role
TechGrove by Banyan Software is a portfolio of vertical SaaS businesses. We are looking for a Database Platform Engineer to own the full database layer across one of our cloud-native product companies. This is not a traditional DBA role. You will be the engineering owner of everything database: schema design, performance, stored procedures, views, migrations, on-call, and all database-related decisions across Dev, QA, and Production environments built on Azure SQL Managed Instance.
This role is being built in-house to establish long-term ownership and institutional knowledge inside the engineering team.
What You Will Own
- Azure SQL Managed Instance across all environments: Dev, QA, and Production
- Schema design, evolution, and all migration scripts
- All stored procedures, views, functions, and complex queries
- Query performance tuning including execution plans, index strategy, statistics, and blocking analysis
- On-call database support and incident response
- Database CI/CD pipeline using DACPAC or migration-based deployments integrated with Azure DevOps
- Database security covering TDE, RBAC, row-level security, auditing, and access control
- Backup, restore, and disaster recovery validation
- Monitoring and alerting via Azure Monitor and SQL Insights
- Capacity planning and database health across all environments
- Partnering with application developers to review data access patterns, flag inefficient queries, and guide ORM usage
What You Will Not Do
This is not a ticket-taking support role. You will not manage on-premise servers, run manual backups, or handle routine admin tasks that can be automated. You are expected to engineer solutions, not administer systems.
Required Skills
- 8 to 12 years of hands-on SQL Server experience
- Deep expertise in Azure SQL Managed Instance or Azure SQL Database
- Advanced T-SQL covering complex queries, stored procedures, views, triggers, and dynamic SQL
- Query tuning using execution plans, index design, statistics, and wait stats analysis
- Database DevOps using DACPAC, Flyway, or equivalent migration tooling integrated with CI/CD pipelines
- Schema design for high-traffic transactional systems
- Azure Monitor, SQL Insights, or equivalent observability tooling
- Strong understanding of high availability including Always On, failover groups, and geo-replication
- Experience working alongside .NET development teams using ADO.NET or Entity Framework
Good to Have
- Azure Database Administrator Associate certification
- Experience with Azure SQL pricing tiers and cost optimization
- Familiarity with Microsoft Fabric or Azure Synapse for analytical workloads
- Experience with row-level security for multi-tenant SaaS products
What Good Looks Like in This Role
- No production query runs without an index review
- Every schema change ships with a tested migration script
- Database incidents are resolved with a root cause document and a prevention plan
- Developers get a response within the same sprint when they raise a data access concern
- On-call is structured, documented, and not reactive
Work Model
Hybrid. Minimum 3 days per week from our Chennai office. Remaining days flexible based on team and sprint cycle needs.
