Full description

Title: Senior Database Engineer — Oracle & Distributed Data Systems (Cleared)

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

Oracle SQL/PLSQL plus general SQL — strong

Exposure to relational and NoSQL engines (PostgreSQL,

MongoDB, Cassandra)

Scripting: Python, Perl, Bash/Linux shell, and/or

JavaScript

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.

Benefits

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.
