Job description

Svitla Systems Inc. is looking for a Database Administrator II for a full-time position (40 hours per week) in the USA. Our client is a technology company specializing in delivering solutions for vehicle-related processes.
You'll be responsible for the administration, maintenance, performance, and security of Microsoft SQL Server database environments within a corporate IT department. Working under the direction of the Senior DBA or DBA Manager, this role supports mission-critical SQL Server workloads hosted on Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) and Always On Availability Groups (AGs).
The Database Administrator II applies sound technical judgment to daily operational tasks, participates in on-call incident response, collaborates with development teams on query and schema reviews, and follows established ITIL-aligned change management processes to ensure safe, well-controlled deployments to production.
Requirements
  • 2-4 years of hands-on experience with Microsoft SQL Server database administration in a corporate enterprise environment.
  • Experience administering SQL Server Failover Cluster Instances (FCI) and Always On Availability Groups (AG).
  • Understanding of T-SQL development, including stored procedures, functions, views, and performance troubleshooting.
  • Understanding of SQL Server backup and recovery strategies and disaster recovery planning.
  • Working knowledge of SSIS and SSRS in a production environment.
  • Knowledge of PowerShell or T-SQL scripting for DBA task automation.
  • Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and documentation skills.

Nice to have
  • Experience with SQL Server performance monitoring tools (e.g., SolarWinds DPA, Redgate SQL Monitor, Idera SQL Diagnostic Manager).
  • Familiarity with Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) and SAN/storage fundamentals (e.g., NetApp).
  • Exposure to Azure SQL or hybrid cloud database environments.
  • Experience collaborating with application development teams on database design and code review.

Responsibilities
  • Administer and maintain Microsoft SQL Server instances across Failover Cluster Instance (FCI) and Always On Availability Group (AG) environments, ensuring continuous availability of production databases.
  • Monitor AG synchronization health, listener configurations, and failover readiness; execute and document planned failover and failback procedures.
  • Manage and validate full, differential, and transaction log backup strategies across all SQL Server instances; perform and document periodic restore tests to confirm recoverability.
  • Proactively monitor SQL Server performance using execution plans, DMVs, wait statistics, and index usage data to identify and resolve bottlenecks.
  • Perform query optimization, index tuning, and statistics maintenance; address blocking, deadlocking, and excessive resource consumption in production environments.
  • Establish and maintain database maintenance plans, including index rebuild/reorganization and integrity checks (DBCC).
  • Administer SQL Server logins, database users, roles, and permissions in accordance with the principle of least privilege and corporate security policy.
  • Implement and maintain security controls, including Transparent Data Encryption (TDE), SQL Auditing, and Active Directory / Windows Authentication integration.
  • Participate in periodic access reviews and audit responses; remediate findings on time.
  • Plan and execute SQL Server Cumulative Updates (CUs) and Service Pack deployments across development, QA, and production environments following ITIL-aligned change management procedures.
  • Author change records, risk assessments, and rollback plans; present changes through the appropriate CAB or change approval process before implementation.
  • Maintain an accurate inventory of SQL Server versions, patch levels, and instance configurations across all managed environments.
  • Configure and maintain SQL Server Agent jobs, database mail, and custom alerting to detect and notify on job failures, performance thresholds, disk space, and AG health events.
  • Respond to monitoring alerts, investigate root causes, and implement corrective actions or escalate appropriately.
  • Participate in 24/7 on-call rotation, triaging and resolving after-hours SQL Server incidents with documented post-incident analysis.
  • Maintain and troubleshoot SSIS packages for ETL workflows supporting data integration and reporting pipelines.
  • Administer SSRS report deployments, subscriptions, and data source configurations to support enterprise reporting needs.
  • Develop and maintain T-SQL and PowerShell scripts to automate repetitive DBA tasks such as index maintenance, integrity checks, space reporting, and user provisioning.
  • Identify opportunities to reduce manual operational effort through scripting, SQL Agent job automation, and standardized runbooks.
  • Partner with application development teams to review T-SQL code, stored procedures, and schema changes before production deployment, providing guidance on performance and best practices.
  • Advise developers on index design, data type selection, and query patterns to minimize database-level impact of application releases.
  • Support developer access requests and environment provisioning for dev and QA SQL Server instances.
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date documentation for database configurations, maintenance procedures, runbooks, and known issue resolutions.
  • Contribute to the team's knowledge base and support knowledge transfer across DBA team members.

We offer
  • US and EU projects based on advanced technologies.
  • Competitive compensation based on skills and experience.
  • Flexibility in workspace, either remote or our welcoming office.
  • Bonuses for article writing, public talks, and other activities.
  • Free tech webinars and meetups organized by Svitla.
  • Regular corporate online activities.
  • Awesome team, friendly and supportive community!
