  • Monitor and troubleshoot performance, replication, and connectivity issues before, during, and after migration.
  • Apply best practices in backup/restore, high availability, replication, and security during the migration process.
  • Create detailed technical documentation and operational runbooks for ongoing maintenance.
  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience with MySQL.
  • Proven experience leading at least one major MySQL version migration project.
  • Deep understanding of MySQL architecture, storage engines (InnoDB, MyISAM), indexing strategies, and performance tuning.
  • Solid understanding of replication, partitioning, and clustering.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
