Detailed JD:

Essential Responsibilities and Duties:

- Builds and deploys a robust middleware/API abstraction layer that hides database-specific topologies (cloud-managed vs. self-managed) from downstream internal consumer teams.
- Provisions, configures, and operates both cloud-managed graph services (via Azure Marketplace) and self-managed graph database clusters on Azure infrastructure.
- Implements multi-tenant access controls, database isolation, and security boundaries to securely partition data domains for separate internal adopting teams.
- Writes automation scripts, data loading utilities, and backup/restore routines across graph database environments. • Collaborates with internal teams to understand consumption patterns, troubleshoot performance bottlenecks, and optimize traversal and Cypher queries.
- Maintains and improves services once live by measuring availability, latency, connection pooling efficiency, and overall system health.
- Develops, implements, and documents best-practice policies, connection SDKs, and developer guides for new projects or onboarding initiatives.

- Cloud Infrastructure: Microsoft Azure (Azure Marketplace, AKS, Azure VMs, Managed Disks, Key Vault, VNet peering).
- Programming & Scripting: Python, Go, or Java for middleware and API development.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Terraform or Bicep. • Containerization: Docker, Kubernetes.

Previous Experience and Competencies:

- Bachelors or Masters degree in IT, Computer Science, or related discipline.
- Strong computer literacy with deep, hands-on implementation experience in distributed data platforms and graph databases.
- 5 – 10 years of seniority (hands-on execution focused rather than purely architectural).

Preferred Qualifications:

- Strong background in backend software engineering and API/middleware design.
- Extensive practical experience managing both cloud-managed DBaaS and self-hosted database deployments on Azure.
- Systematic problem-solving approach, coupled with solid communication skills and a sense of ownership and drive.
- Ability to debug, profile, and optimize slow-running queries and handle high-concurrency connection management.
