Senior Database Administrator
Role Summary

Exiger is the market leader in AI-native supply chain and third-party risk management, serving more than 60 federal agencies and Fortune 500 enterprises on a FedRAMP High authorized platform.

We are seeking a Senior Database Administrator to own the data foundation powering 1Exiger, our agentic AI platform, as well as our core transactional and analytical workloads. This is not a traditional DBA role. You will manage cloud databases and data platforms while helping build the AI-native data infrastructure required for vector search, embeddings, RAG pipelines, inference telemetry, and agent memory.

You will work across AWS commercial, AWS GovCloud, and future IL5/IL6 air-gapped environments, partnering with platform, AI/ML, infrastructure, and security teams to support product innovation, Sovereign AI, and operational excellence.

What You'll Do
  • Architect, operate, and optimize Exiger's cloud data platforms across AWS commercial, AWS GovCloud, and future IL5/IL6 environments.
  • Own performance, scale, high availability, backup, disaster recovery, and multi-region strategies across transactional, analytical, and AI workloads.
  • Build and support AI-native data infrastructure for 1Exiger, including vector search, embeddings, RAG pipelines, inference telemetry, evaluation data, and agent memory.
  • Ensure data security, encryption, access control, auditability, lineage, retention, and CUI handling meet FedRAMP High and federal customer requirements.
  • Partner with security teams on POA&M remediation, vulnerability management, control evidence, and continuous monitoring.
  • Drive cost optimization, modernization, and consolidation across legacy and cloud data estates using FinOps and open data architecture principles.
  • Promote DevOps best practices, including infrastructure as code, automated schema migrations, CI/CD integration, and feature-flag-gated releases.
  • Mentor engineers and DBAs on scalable, cost-aware, compliance-ready data architecture.


Technical Environment
  • Cloud: AWS commercial, AWS GovCloud, future IL5/IL6 air-gapped environments
  • Databases: PostgreSQL, RDS/Aurora PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server
  • Analytics/lakehouse: Snowflake, S3, Iceberg, Trino, Athena
  • AI data infrastructure: pgvector, OpenSearch, vector search, embeddings, RAG, inference telemetry
  • Infrastructure and release: Terraform, Pulumi, GitLab/GitHub pipelines, OpenFeature, automated schema migrations
  • Observability: Graphana
  • Data: High-volume, regulated datasets, including CUI and federal supply chain intelligence


What You Need
  • 8+ years of database administration experience with increasing ownership of cloud data architecture.
  • Deep expertise in cloud database design, performance tuning, scaling, capacity planning, cost planning, backup, replication, high availability, and disaster recovery.
  • Strong understanding of cloud networking, security, identity, encryption, access control, and audit requirements for data platforms.
  • Experience supporting enterprise SaaS platforms with strict uptime, security, and compliance requirements.
  • Working knowledge of, or strong interest in, AI data infrastructure such as vector search, embeddings, RAG pipelines, and model telemetry.
  • Ability to collaborate across engineering, infrastructure, AI/ML, and security teams.


Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with FedRAMP, StateRAMP, IL4+, NIST 800-53, or federal compliance environments.
  • Experience in compliance, risk, financial services, defense, or data-intensive SaaS environments.
  • Experience with air-gapped or disconnected database environments.
  • Exposure to FinOps and cloud cost optimization at scale.
  • Experience supporting ML or AI platforms in production.


Why You'll Love Working at Exiger:

  • High-performance culture rooted in accountability, collaboration, and a shared commitment to excellence.
  • Discretionary Time Off for all employees, with no maximum limits on time off
  • Industry leading health, vision, and dental benefits
  • Competitive compensation package
  • 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave
  • Flexible, hybrid approach to working from home and in the office where applicable
