Database Administrator - Senior

$94.1k - $144.8k

ASM Research, An Accenture Federal Services Company

The Database Administrator, Senior leads the design, implementation, and lifecycle management of enterprise database platforms that underpin mission-critical systems in a highly regulated government environment. The role owns advanced performance tuning, capacity planning, and high-availability strategies to ensure resilient, scalable data services across complex application portfolios. It also establishes database standards, security baselines, and governance practices while providing technical leadership to mid-level and junior DBAs and guiding major upgrade, migration, and modernization initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

  • Architect and maintain enterprise-class database solutions across platforms such as Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, or PostgreSQL, including advanced schema design, partitioning, and environment-specific optimization for mission-critical workloads.

  • Design end-to-end performance strategies, including indexing, query optimization, plan analysis, and server-level tuning, to support large-scale transactional, reporting, and analytics workloads.

  • Engineer and oversee high-availability and resilience configurations such as clustering, availability groups, replication, log shipping, or multi-region deployments, and regularly validate failover and recovery procedures.

  • Define and enforce database security standards, including encryption strategies, privileged access models, auditing policies, and compliance controls appropriate for highly regulated government environments.

  • Lead complex upgrade and migration initiatives, including cross-version and cross-platform moves, data consolidation, and refactoring of legacy databases to modern architectures with minimal business disruption.

  • Establish and maintain enterprise backup, recovery, and disaster recovery architectures, including recovery time and recovery point objectives, and conduct regular recovery drills for mission-critical systems.

  • Guide data integration, data warehousing, and ETL design efforts, including source-to-target mapping, error handling, and performance tuning for large-volume batch and near-real-time data flows.

  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior and mid-level DBAs, review designs and change plans, and set standards for documentation, monitoring, and incident response.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree (BA/BS) in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent relevant work experience.

  • 8 or more years of progressively responsible database administration experience with primary ownership of production environments.

  • Expert proficiency with relational database systems such as Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, or PostgreSQL, including deep knowledge of database structures, performance tuning, and troubleshooting.

  • Extensive experience with database security, backup and recovery, disaster recovery planning, high-availability configurations, data warehousing, ETL processes, and data integration tools.

  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills with the ability to influence cross-functional teams and stakeholders.

  • Active SECRET security clearance or ability to obtain and maintain clearance as required by the client.

  • U.S. citizenship and willingness to travel less than 10% of the time.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Demonstrated experience designing and operating database platforms for large, highly available environments with documented high-availability and disaster recovery patterns.

  • Experience leading database modernization or cloud-migration initiatives for secured or government environments.

  • Senior-level certifications or advanced concentration areas (for example, advanced Oracle DBA tracks or Microsoft Azure data platform certifications).

  • Prior experience shaping enterprise database standards, patterns, and roadmaps in collaboration with architecture and cybersecurity teams.
