Who you are...
You are a data sleuth. You seek out the challenges that don't already have defined solutions. If there's an issue customers are having, you will dig through the code, application logs, and queries, to find what's wrong. Once the problem is solved, you create documentation that will allow anyone in tier 1 or tier 2 support will be able to follow for future reference.
Your background is working with databases, both relational and non-relational. Aside from having exceptional SQL skills, you also have scripting experience in python, Perl, java, or JavaScript. You're familiar enough with Linux to be able to navigate through a directory structure.
For environment, you work best in a tight knit team that relies on its members for brainstorming potential solutions. Being the last line of defense, you can be successful in fast paced environments while still maintaining the customer service aspect that's needed when dealing with internal partners.
