Database Administrator

• Administering SQL Server and PostgreSQL instances hosted both on client premises and in cloud platforms (AWS RDS, Azure SQL)
• Chasing down performance problems at the query and index level, reading execution plans, fixing statistics, rewriting the worst offenders where we have permission
• Running backup and recovery programs end to end, including scheduled restore tests, not just verified backup jobs
• Handling patching and version upgrades on maintenance windows we schedule and communicate in advance
• Reviewing schemas and data models proposed by application vendors and our own engineering staff
• Investigating alerts from monitoring tools before they become client-visible outages
• Documenting every environment we manage well enough that another engineer could pick it up mid-incident
• Occasionally driving to a client’s office in the valley for work that genuinely can’t be done remotely

• Four or more years administering production databases
• Deep SQL Server experience: backup strategies, Always On availability groups, and performance tuning in real production conditions
• Working PostgreSQL experience, including replication and maintenance operations
• PowerShell or Python scripting for automation; we’d rather you build the repetitive task than do it monthly by hand
• A disciplined approach to documentation and change communication
• Reliable transportation for occasional local client visits

What strengthens an application

• AWS or Azure database certifications
• Experience in PCI-DSS or HIPAA-regulated environments
• Familiarity with monitoring platforms we may already have deployed, such as Datadog or Zabbix
• Exposure to MongoDB or DynamoDB
• Prior MSP or multi-tenant experience

Schedule: Full-time, Monday-Friday business hours. Rotating after-hours and weekend windows for upgrades, migrations, and emergency response.
