Original job description

Position Title: Principal Database Engineer

Location: Schriever Space Force Base, Colorado Springs, CO or Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, AL

Relocation Assistance: None available at this time

Remote/Telework: NO - Not available for this position

Clearance Type: DoW Secret

Shift: Day shift

Travel Required: Up to 10% of the time

Description of Duties:

We are looking for a versatile Principal Database Engineer to act as the technical anchor for our database administration team. The Principal Database Engineer supports the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) on the Integrated Research and Development for Enterprise Solutions (IRES) contract. We run a complex, multi-platform environment, and we need someone who understands the nuances of several different database flavors - specifically Oracle, DB2, Cassandra, MongoDB, and SQL systems.

You will be the technical point person.
We have DBAs who are deep subject-matter experts in specific platforms, but your role is to see the big picture, jump into any of these environments when needed, and make sure everything is working together securely and efficiently.
You will also bridge the gap between our database team, developers, and administrators to figure out exactly what kind of data solutions we need to build.
Since we are moving toward modern infrastructure, you will also help guide how we run these databases in the cloud and within containers.

The successful candidate will:

Have a habit of researching and testing new database technologies to see if they fit into our application lifecycle.
Have excellent communication skills - you need to be able to sit down with developers and business owners to map out database requirements for new projects.

Resumes, in month and year format, must be submitted with application in order to be considered for the position. The selected candidate may be assigned as an employee for one of our teammate companies.

Basic Requirements:

Must have 6 , or more, years of general (full-time) work experience
May be reduced with completion of advanced education
Must have 3 , or more, years of directly related experience
Must have hands-on experience installing, configuring, and maintaining multiple database platforms (must have working knowledge of Oracle, DB2, Cassandra, MongoDB, and SQL).
Must have experience running databases in the cloud, specifically using AWS and Azure.
Must have hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration, including Kubernetes and Docker.
Must be able to act as a technical coordinator and mentor for a team of DBAs, guiding the technical direction without needing the formal "Team Lead" title.
Must have a solid background in performance tuning, troubleshooting, and optimizing queries across different database types.
Must have experience handling the fundamentals: setting up backup and disaster recovery strategies, managing capacity, and running audits.
Must have a strong understanding of database security policies and how to enforce them across an enterprise network.
Must have a current Security+ certification
Must have an active DoW Secret Security Clearance

Desired Requirements:

Have advanced SQL query optimization skills.
Have Oracle WebLogic experience (deploying, upgrading, patching, and troubleshooting).
Have experience working on government or defense contracts (like the Missile Defense Agency), or similar highly regulated enterprise environments.

This position will be posted for a minimum of 3 days. If a candidate has not been selected at that time, it will continue to be posted until a suitable candidate is selected or the position is closed.

Compensation Details:

$115,000 – $145,000
