Database Administrator

We’re looking for a Database Administrator who can own the data layer end-to-end, keeping legacy systems stable and helping modern platforms scale. This role is part of a remote program, but you’ll be embedded with delivery teams supporting real programs. This isn’t a "set it and forget it" database role; it’s hands-on, in the weeds, making sure the foundation holds while everything around it evolves.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience managing production databases where uptime and data integrity actually mattered
• Active DoD/DoW Secret Clearance is required
• Security+ CE (IAT Level II) certification
• Strong hands-on experience with Oracle in real-world environments
• A solid understanding of backup/recovery strategies, system monitoring, and performance tuning—including diagnosing query issues, indexing problems, and resource bottlenecks
• Experience working in environments with strict security requirements (STIG, RMF, or similar), and a clear understanding of how to implement and maintain compliant systems
• Comfort with scripting and automation (Bash, Python, or PowerShell) to reduce manual work and improve reliability
• Experience working directly with developers to optimize queries, support data models, and ensure the database supports how the application actually behaves
• Familiarity with cloud-based database environments (AWS, Azure, etc.) and an understanding of how database management shifts between on-prem and cloud
• A strong sense of ownership when it comes to data integrity, consistency, and risk, especially in systems that can’t afford to fail
• The ability to troubleshoot under pressure and make smart decisions when things don’t go as planned
• Clear communication skills. You can explain what’s happening, why it matters, and what needs to happen next
