What You Will Do:

As a Database Engineer (DBE), Level 3 at Independent Software, you will provide technical expertise in the design, development, implementation, and management of complex database systems supporting mission-critical environments. You will work across the full system lifecycle—from requirements development through system acceptance testing and Initial Operational Capability (IOC)—ensuring database solutions are scalable, secure, and aligned with overall system architecture. This role requires balancing performance, data volume, user access, and security requirements while delivering efficient and reliable data solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, develop, implement, and maintain relational and/or object-oriented database systems
  • Develop database parser software and database loading mechanisms
  • Analyze user and system requirements to design effective database structures
  • Create, modify, and optimize complex queries, scripts, and macros for data manipulation and reporting
  • Translate data requirements into usable database solutions, including master data files and structured datasets
  • Support data flow analysis, information storage, and retrieval processes
  • Evaluate and recommend improvements for database performance, scalability, and reliability
  • Develop and maintain database schemas aligned with system architecture and operational needs
  • Perform trade-off analysis across data volumes, user loads, system distribution, response times, and retention policies
  • Implement database solutions using cloud-based methodologies and technologies
  • Utilize Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) and other integration methods to support system interoperability
  • Assist with database optimization, tuning, and performance monitoring
  • Support system testing, validation, and acceptance activities
  • Ensure compliance with security requirements, data protection standards, and domain controls
  • Collaborate with system engineers, developers, and stakeholders to align database solutions with mission needs
Required Skills and Qualifications:

  • Strong experience with relational databases (e.g., SQL-based systems) and/or object-oriented database design
  • Proficiency in writing and optimizing complex SQL queries, scripts, and stored procedures
  • Experience with database design, normalization, and data modeling techniques
  • Knowledge of database performance tuning, indexing, and optimization strategies
  • Experience working with large datasets and high-volume data environments
  • Familiarity with cloud-based database technologies and data storage solutions
  • Experience with data integration tools and protocols such as ODBC
  • Understanding of data security principles, access controls, and data governance
  • Ability to analyze system requirements and translate them into scalable database solutions
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a cross-functional team
Education and Experience:

  • Bachelor’s degree in a technical discipline from an accredited college or university is required
  • Ten (10) years of experience as a Database Engineer (DBE) in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity is required
  • Five (5) additional years of relevant experience may be substituted for a bachelor’s degree
  • Experience supporting database solutions across the full system lifecycle, from requirements through system acceptance and deployment
Certifications:  

  • DoD 8570.01-M compliance with Information Assurance Technical (IAT) Level II is required
Clearance Requirement:

  • Must possess an active TS SCI with appropriate Polygraph to be considered for this role
