Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
1. What does a typical day look like for a Remote SQL DBA?
You’ll start most mornings by scanning logs and checking your monitoring dashboard. From there, your time might be spent improving a query that’s been dragging down performance or restoring access for someone locked out of a system. You’ll keep tabs on backups, look for ways to strengthen security, and step in when an issue crops up. It’s a steady mix of prevention, support, and problem-solving.
2. How does this role support other teams?
Your work is what keeps data flowing and accessible. When someone in operations needs a report or HR is running payroll, they’re counting on your systems to deliver. You help set up the proper access, fix things quickly when they break, and make sure data is backed up and secure. You’re the quiet force behind the scenes, making sure everything works.
3. What kinds of tools and technologies will I use?
You’ll spend your time working with SQL Server and familiar tools, such as SSMS, PowerShell, and T-SQL. You might also use cloud-based tools for backups and automation, depending on the project. If there’s a script that can make your day easier or a monitoring tool you prefer, there’s room to try it—this team values practical solutions over rigid setups.
4. What makes this remote team feel inclusive and connected?
You’re never just a name on a screen here. The team takes the time to check in, share wins, and discuss challenges. Whether it’s a weekly call, a quick Slack thread, or a casual message to say “nice work,” you’ll feel part of the group. Support is built into the way people work—not just something they discuss.
5. What kind of growth can I expect in this position?
There’s no one-size path. Some DBAs here have moved into cloud architecture, while others have leaned into automation or BI. If you’re curious, willing to try new things, and open to feedback, you’ll have every chance to grow. You set the pace—we provide the support.
