Datacom DBA Consultant - Melbourne

AYAN InfoTech is looking for Datacom DBA Consultant to join an exciting project based in Melbourne. The role offers you the opportunity to contribute towards an extremely well structured and mature environment, working on sophisticated enhancement projects.

Role: Datacom DBA Consultant

Location: Melbourne

Contract Duration: 6 Months with high possible extensions

Experience: 7+ Years

Job Summary

We require an experienced Broadcom Datacom DBA consultant to provide additional specialist capacity and backup coverage for the existing Datacom DBA supporting the Phoenix project.

The primary purpose of the role is to remove the project's dependency on a single Datacom DBA resource and ensure that suitably skilled DBA coverage is available throughout development, testing and implementation preparation.

Most activities will be performed in non-production environments, supporting the development and testing teams and maintaining the Datacom environments required for Phoenix delivery. This is a hands-on DBA role requiring current practical experience administering, building, refreshing, diagnosing and tuning Datacom databases.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide effective backup and capacity support for the existing Datacom DBA.
• Administer and maintain Datacom databases across Phoenix non-production environments.
• Build, configure, refresh and reset Datacom databases and environments to support development and testing.
• Diagnose and resolve database faults, data-access issues, environmental problems and performance concerns.
• Support developers and testers with database availability, data preparation, troubleshooting and technical analysis.
• Undertake database installation, configuration, maintenance, upgrade and patching activities where required.
• Monitor and tune Datacom databases to maintain appropriate reliability and performance.
• Support database backup, recovery, restore and integrity-validation activities.
• Investigate complex issues involving Datacom databases, application access, batch processing and non-production environments.
• Support preparation for test cycles, implementation rehearsals, migration activities and production readiness.
• Maintain appropriate DBA procedures, configuration records and operational documentation.
• Share knowledge and maintain sufficient visibility of database activities to ensure continuity when the existing Datacom DBA is unavailable.
• Provide production support or implementation assistance where specifically required, although the primary focus will remain on non-production delivery.

Required Skills & Experience

• At least 10 years of substantial hands on experience installing, administering, supporting and tuning Broadcom Datacom databases.
• Recent and active experience working as a Datacom DBA, rather than relying only on historical Datacom knowledge.
• Demonstrated experience building, refreshing, restoring, reconfiguring and maintaining Datacom databases and environments.
• Strong troubleshooting capability, including diagnosis and resolution of database, performance, integrity and environmental issues.
• Strong understanding of Datacom database structures, utilities, operational processes, backup and recovery.
• Experience supporting application development, system testing, integration testing and implementation activities.
• Experience administering Datacom in complex IBM mainframe environments.
• Ability to work independently and provide credible backup coverage for an experienced Datacom DBA.
• Strong communication and documentation skills, with the ability to work effectively with developers, testers, infrastructure specialists and application support teams.
