  • Automate routine database operations and provisioning where applicable
  • Troubleshoot complex database issues including performance bottlenecks, connection limits, and resource constraints
  • Support NoSQL and supporting data technologies as required (e.g., ArangoDB, Redis)
  • Create and maintain database documentation, runbooks, and standard operating procedures
  • Support compliance, accreditation, and audit activities in classified environments

Requirements:

  • Active TS/SCI clearance
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • Experience in database administration and/or database engineering roles
  • Hands-on PostgreSQL experience in production environments
  • Experience with HA/DR concepts (replication, failover, backup/restore validation)
  • Strong understanding of database security practices and access controls
  • Experience troubleshooting performance issues (query plans, indexing, connection pooling, resource constraints)
  • Strong Linux skills and scripting/automation ability (Bash, Python, etc.)
  • Ability to work effectively in secure, mission-focused environments

Nice to have:

  • Experience with ArangoDB or other NoSQL databases
  • Experience with Redis administration and performance tuning
  • Experience with Kubernetes-based database patterns (operators, stateful workloads)
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) in support of database provisioning
  • Familiarity with Kafka or event-driven architectures (e.g., CDC patterns)
