Provide full DB2 database engineering and administration for FMWorkFlow, including performance, integrity, recovery, resilience, and integration with Web Sphere and the supporting infrastructure.

• Administer production and non-production DB2 environments.
• Design and maintain database schemas.
• Conduct database performance analysis and capacity planning.
• Tune database performance and optimize queries.
• Diagnose database degradation, failures, locking, connectivity, and cross-stack issues.
• Protect data integrity and reconcile identified exceptions.
• Engineer and validate backup, restoration, and recovery activities.

• Support patching, updates, corrective maintenance, and system modifications.
• Validate database performance and data integrity after changes.
• Maintain database configuration, recovery, test, and operating documentation.
