  • Automate routine tasks (backups, patching, user provisioning) with versioned scripting and CI/CD.
  • Participate in on-call rotation, incident response, root-cause analysis, and capacity planning.
  • Integrate monitoring and alerting.

  • Expertise in SQL Server, Oracle, or PostgreSQL.
  • Experience with cloud-based DB solutions (AWS RDS, Azure SQL).
  • Strong understanding of database security and compliance requirements.
  • Hands-on performance tuning (query tuning, indexing strategy, stats maintenance, I/O and memory pressure analysis).
  • Solid understanding of networking, OS fundamentals (Windows/Linux), and storage concepts relevant to databases.
  • Scripting ability in at least one: PowerShell, Bash, or Python. ​
  • Experience hardening and accrediting systems under DoD RMF.
  • Familiarity with data integration & messaging (ETL/ELT tools, CDC, Kafka), and supporting analytics/BI workloads.
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code and config management (Terraform, Ansible) for DB infrastructure and parameter baselines.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
