• Develop migration runbooks, cutover plans, and rollback strategies for production database migrations.
• Support competitive technical evaluations against Oracle, SQL Server, and other cloud database offerings.
• Collaborate with Database Sales Specialists to qualify opportunities and accelerate deal closure through technical validation.
• Create and deliver technical workshops, immersion days, and enablement sessions for customers and partners.
• Contribute to the development of reusable migration tools, scripts, and best-practice documentation.
