AX Administrator

Job Type

Description

• Administer and support Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 production, test, development, and disaster recovery environments.
• Own routine AX technical administration, including AOS services, configuration, client connectivity, environment health, service accounts, and related Windows services.
• Monitor and troubleshoot AX performance, user sessions, batch jobs, alerts, workflow processes, integrations, application errors, and availability issues.
• Analyze AX and SQL performance problems using AX tracing, long‑running‑query analysis, SQL Server monitoring, logs, and event data; partner with developers and infrastructure teams on root‑cause fixes.
• Administer AX users, groups, roles, permissions, segregation‑of‑duties controls, service accounts, and periodic access reviews.
• Support AX client access delivered through Citrix Workspace, Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, or comparable published‑application technology.
• Administer and support the SQL Server environment hosting AX databases: health checks, job monitoring, backup verification, restore testing, capacity planning, index/statistics maintenance, SQL Agent jobs, permissions, and performance troubleshooting.
• Develop and maintain SQL queries, stored procedures, scripts, views, and controlled data extracts for investigation, reporting, reconciliation, and integration support.
• Apply strict data‑integrity practices: avoid unapproved direct SQL changes to AX transactional data; use approved AX processes, tested scripts, or vendor‑supported methods with documented change approval and rollback plans.
• Support AX data imports, exports, migration activities, reconciliation, master‑data validation, and issue remediation.
• Support integrations between AX 2009 and third‑party systems, including payment platforms, EDI, SFTP, warehouse systems, reporting tools, custom applications, APIs, and scheduled processes.
• Troubleshoot AX customizations, X++ code issues, MorphX objects, labels, configurations, and deployment packages in coordination with developers or external AX partners.
• Coordinate code promotion and deployments across development, test, UAT, and production environments using disciplined release‑management, testing, approval, rollback, and documentation practices.
• Manage environment refreshes, database restores, test‑data handling, configuration changes, and release validation.
• Maintain comprehensive technical documentation: architecture diagrams, database dependencies, integration inventories, service accounts, support runbooks, recovery procedures, and change records.
• Coordinate patching, vulnerability remediation, endpoint protection compatibility, backup operations, disaster recovery exercises, and recovery validation with infrastructure and cybersecurity teams.
• Work with Finance, Accounting, Supply Chain, Operations, Warehouse, Procurement, and Sales teams to resolve ERP issues and improve processes.
• Provide escalation‑level user support and targeted end‑user training for AX functions, reporting, access issues, and Citrix‑delivered access.
• Manage relationships with ERP vendors, managed service providers, consultants, and software partners.
• Contribute technical expertise to ERP modernization, data‑retention, archival, integration replacement, cloud‑readiness, and eventual migration planning.

• 3+ years of practical Microsoft SQL Server experience supporting production applications or ERP databases.
• Strong SQL skills: complex SELECT queries, joins, views, stored procedures, SQL Agent jobs, data validation queries, and performance investigations.
• Experience with SQL Server backup, restore, recovery, database maintenance, database security, monitoring, and production incident response.
• Experience troubleshooting AX application and SQL performance issues, including long‑running queries, blocking, locking, deadlocks, indexing, and resource constraints.
