This role will be responsible for managing, optimizing, and re-architecting the current on-premises database environment. As a key technical enabler of the organization's cloud strategy, the Senior Database Administrator will first stabilize and remediate the existing database infrastructure, then design and execute a safe, phased migration to AWS.

This position bridges the gap between the current aging, monolithic on-premises database environment running on on-prem infrastructure and a future-state scalable, cost-efficient, cloud-native database platform.

• Manage and support enterprise-scale Microsoft SQL Server environments, including databases in the 10+ terabyte range across development, QA, and production.
• Lead and participate in SQL Server upgrades, version migrations, patching, and maintenance efforts with minimal disruption to business-critical applications.
• Design, implement, and maintain high-availability and disaster recovery solutions, particularly Always On Availability Groups.
• Monitor and optimize database performance, availability, and reliability, including tuning queries, indexes, and stored procedures.
• Perform and validate database backup, recovery, and maintenance activities to ensure data integrity and operational continuity.
• Advanced SQL Server administration options (trace flags, DB options, and query hints).
• Develop automation using PowerShell, T-SQL, CI/CD pipelines, and Infrastructure as Code.
• Support enterprise monitoring, alerting, and observability solutions tailored to SQL Server health, availability, and performance metrics.
• Establish operational standards, runbooks, and incident response procedures.
• Expertise in SQL Server replication across multiple databases; troubleshoot replication latency, distribution bottlenecks, and data consistency issues.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex database issues related to performance, connectivity, storage, security, and application integration.
• Contribute to the planning and execution of database migration and cloud transformation initiatives, with a focus on migrating to AWS (RDS for SQL Server, EC2-hosted SQL Server).
• Implement database security best practices, including user access management, encryption, auditing, and compliance controls.
• Create and maintain automation scripts, monitoring solutions, operational procedures, and technical documentation.
• Collaborate with software engineering, DevOps, infrastructure, product, and security teams to support business-critical applications and modernization efforts.

Work Location Requirement: This position follows a hybrid work schedule, requiring employees to work onsite three days per week in Long Island, NY, Overland Park, KS, or Atlanta, GA.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in a related discipline and 4 years' experience in a related field. The right candidate could also have a different combination, such as a master's degree and 2 years' experience; a Ph.D. and up to 1 year of experience; or 8 years' experience in a related field.
• Requires 2+ years of AWS database migration experience.
• Requires 5+ years of experience with Microsoft SQL Server database platform in the 10+ terabyte range.
• Strong hands-on experience with SQL Server replication, including troubleshooting latency and consistency issues.
• Demonstrated experience with SQL Server upgrades, migrations, and patching across multiple environments.
• Solid understanding of Windows Server administration as it relates to SQL Server hosting and configuration.
• Proven experience with SQL Server clustering and high-availability solutions (e.g., failover clustering).

Preferred Qualification

• Nice to have in Atlas MongoDB and PostgreSQL.
