Implement and monitor Change Data Capture (CDC) processes using native database log APIs or ODBC according to source-system requirements.

Design and implement replication topologies, including one-to-one, hub-and-spoke, and fan-out architectures.

Configure and maintain replication jobs, agents, services, and web-based management consoles.

Establish failover and load-balancing configurations to improve replication resilience, availability, and continuity.

Troubleshoot replication failures, log-mining issues, ODBC/API connectivity problems, and performance bottlenecks.

Optimize replication performance through appropriate parallel job configuration, CPU/core allocation, memory utilization, and thread management.

Work closely with database and infrastructure teams on archive-log settings, database triggers, schema changes, and related dependencies.

Define and maintain SLA thresholds, alerts, monitoring processes, and operational dashboards for replication environments.

Maintain appropriate security controls, including role-based access, logging, auditing, and secure system configurations.

Create and maintain technical documentation covering replication architecture, recovery procedures, operational standards, and client-specific playbooks.

Participate in disaster recovery and high-availability validation, testing, and continuous improvement activities.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.

Solid understanding of Change Data Capture concepts, transaction-log mining, and archive-log management.

Experience working with enterprise databases such as DB2 LUW/zOS, Oracle, SQL Server, and MySQL.

Familiarity with ODBC/JDBC connectivity and native database APIs, including technologies such as Oracle LogMiner and DB2 capture agents.

Experience administering Linux and Windows server environments.

Understanding of replication architecture, monitoring, troubleshooting, performance optimization, and high-availability principles.

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to diagnose complex replication and connectivity issues.

Ability to collaborate effectively with DBAs, infrastructure engineers, and other technical stakeholders.

Strong documentation skills and a structured approach to operational processes and recovery procedures.

Relevant database or data integration certifications are a plus.

Experience with cloud data platforms such as Snowflake, Azure Synapse, or AWS RDS is advantageous.

Scripting experience with Shell, PowerShell, or Python for automation, monitoring, and alerting is a plus.
