You ll likely have experience maintaining high availability and performance, troubleshooting issues calmly and methodically, and working alongside other IT teams to support critical applications . Exposure to Azure (or other cloud platforms) would be useful, but it s not essential. Strong on-prem SQL experience is the priority. Just as important is your approach.
