Associate Database Developer

📍 Nagpur 🏷️ Database Administration 💰 ₹61,500 / month

About the Role

MIHAN in Nagpur has an Associate Database Developer opening, full time, on site, with a team responsible for database performance and reliability across internal systems. One and a half years of experience is the expectation, enough to have already handled real query optimization work.

A Day in This Job

The work covers designing and maintaining database structures, optimizing queries for performance, managing backups and data security, and monitoring systems for reliability. An associate developer here spends real time in query execution plans, learning to spot the specific pattern causing a slow query rather than just guessing at fixes.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Design and maintain database structures
  • Optimize slow-running queries
  • Support backup and data security procedures
  • Monitor database systems for reliability issues

Qualifications

A bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field is expected, along with strong command of database design, query optimization, and backup and recovery procedures, with hands-on exposure preferred but not mandatory at this level.

Skills That Matter

  • SQL at a solid, working level
  • Database design
  • Stored procedures
  • Performance tuning

Good to Have

Any personal project involving database optimization, familiarity with a specific major database platform beyond the basics, and genuine curiosity about reading a query execution plan rather than treating it as an intimidating wall of text.

Why This Role

MIHAN has grown into a significant logistics and IT hub for Nagpur, and this team's databases support systems that other parts of the organization depend on directly, giving an associate developer's optimization work real, measurable impact. Naukri Mitra has listed a few database roles from this employer, and associates who've joined recently describe learning to read execution plans properly as the single most useful skill they built here, more valuable than they expected going in.

The Interview Process

Interviews include a practical query optimization exercise and a discussion of a past database issue you resolved. Candidates who explain their reasoning behind an optimization choice tend to interview well.

Benefits

  • Health insurance for the employee
  • Paid time off
  • Provident fund contributions
  • Relocation assistance and accommodation support for candidates moving to Nagpur

Location & Pay

This role is based at MIHAN, Nagpur, pin code 441108, five days a week on site. Pay is up to ₹61,500 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within five weeks.
