Job Description

The environment:A mission-critical, geographically distributed system serving the Intelligence Community — one where interface, performance, and security tolerances are tight and non-negotiable. You'll be a database engineering voice on a complex program, not a ticket-taker.

What you'll own:

• Relational and non-relational data architecture — design, build, and document
  
• Data movement at scale: replication across distributed nodes, concurrent access, failover and high-availability engineering
  
• Performance work: tuning, capacity and performance planning, issue investigation through resolution
  
• Backup, recovery, and user administration
  
• Schema translation — turning requirements and raw data into usable structures via ad hoc queries, scripts, and macros
  
• Requirements analysis, risk assessment, and alternatives analysis for system-level problems
  
• Long- and short-term database requirements for admin and design
  

Requirements

How you'll work:Embedded in an Agile team, interfacing with systems, software, test, and information assurance engineers. You'll contribute to Program Increment Planning and collaborate daily with technical peers and customer POCs.

Clearance (hard gate):Active TS/SCI with Full Scope Polygraph through the MD customer. Last poly within 6 years. No CCAs.

Experience bar:

• 10+ years as a DBA on similar-scope programs
  
• Exposure to relational and NoSQL engines (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Cassandra)
  
• Java as a language baseline
  
• Technical bachelor's, or 4 years additional DBA experience in lieu
  

Nice to have:SAFe methodology or Agile team experience; Cassandra; MongoDB.

Some travel to MD for quarterly planning, if not local.

Comprehensive benefit package that includes 3 weeks paid time off, 10+ Paid Holidays, medical/dental coverage, STD, LTD, Life Insurance, AD&D, 401k with up to 4% match, and end of year profit sharing.
