Job description

The Database Engineer provides technical expertise in database design, development, implementation, information storage and retrieval, and data flow/analysis. This role develops relational and/or object-oriented databases, parser software, and database loading software.
Key responsibilities include:
  • Designing database structures aligned with overall system architecture.
  • Supporting database administration and design for both short- and long-term requirements.
  • Translating requirements into usable database schemas, ad hoc queries, scripts, and macros.
  • Building and maintaining complex systems using queries, tables, Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), and cloud-based storage/retrieval.
  • Leading the development of database structures, parser software, and loading software.
  • Directing the organization of requirements into schemas and overseeing the development of ad hoc queries and scripts.
  • Ensuring system performance by making trade-offs in data volumes, user numbers, distribution, response times, retention, security, and domain controls.
  • Evaluating and recommending improvements, optimizations, and maintenance efforts.
  • Staying current with emerging technologies and integrating solutions such as messaging protocols (e.g., Java Messaging, RabbitMQ).

The DE works primarily at the front end of the lifecycle (requirements through system acceptance testing and Initial Operational Capability).
Requirements
Experience: Minimum 10 years in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity; at least 7 years developing SQL Server database architecture.
Education: Bachelor's degree in an IT discipline from an accredited institution (may substitute 4 years of database engineering experience in lieu of degree).
Certifications:
  • DoD 8570 IAT Level II (or higher).
  • LENEL Certified Expert (LCE) with a concentration in databases.
