What is a remote database?

A Remote Database job involves managing, maintaining, and optimizing databases from a remote location. Professionals in this role handle data security, performance tuning, backups, and troubleshooting without being physically present at the organization's site. Remote database administrators (DBAs) and developers use cloud-based tools and VPNs to access and manage databases securely. This job requires expertise in database management systems (DBMS) like MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, or MongoDB. It offers flexibility, but strong communication skills and reliable internet connectivity are essential for success.

What does a remote database do?

In a Remote Database position, your daily responsibilities often include monitoring database performance, running backups, managing user access, troubleshooting issues, and optimizing queries for efficiency. You may also be tasked with implementing security measures, applying updates and patches, and supporting data migration or integration projects. Collaboration with developers, IT support, and sometimes business analysts via virtual meetings and project management tools is common. This role requires proactive communication and strong documentation skills to ensure smooth workflows and maintain the reliability of critical data systems. By managing these key tasks, you help support an organization's digital infrastructure from anywhere.

What skills and qualifications are needed for a remote database?

To thrive as a Remote Database professional, you should have strong skills in database management, SQL and/or NoSQL query languages, backup and recovery procedures, and relevant educational or certification backgrounds such as a degree in computer science or certifications like Microsoft Certified: Azure Database Administrator Associate. Familiarity with tools such as SQL Server Management Studio, Oracle, MongoDB, MySQL, and cloud database platforms is commonly required. Excellent problem-solving abilities, strong attention to detail, and self-motivation are important soft skills since the role is remote and often requires independent work. These qualifications are crucial for ensuring efficient database performance, data integrity, and success while collaborating virtually with technical teams.

Redan LLC

Silver Spring, MD • On-site, Remote

Full-time

Posted 15 days ago

Job description

Redan LLC is seeking an experienced Data Operations Specialist (DBA) to operate and sustain the cloud data environment ensuring stability, reliability, and security across AWS pipelines, databases, and a public open-data portal.
In this role you will keep production data operations healthy and predictable: operating established AWS workflows, administering relational and warehouse databases, publishing datasets through the agency's open-data portal, monitoring platform health, and responding to incidents. You will maintain the operational documentation - SOPs, runbooks, and health and maintenance reports - that keeps the environment auditable and supportable.
The ideal candidate brings hands-on AWS data-operations and database-administration depth, a reliability- and quality-first mindset, and the discipline to meet SLAs in a regulated federal environment. You must be comfortable in an Agile environment and effective at collaborating with engineering, governance, and end-user stakeholders.
What You'll Be Doing
As the Data Operations Specialist (DBA) at Redan, you will:
  • Operate and maintain established AWS-based data workflows (Lambda, Glue, Step Functions, Redshift, RDS PostgreSQL, S3, and related data services)
  • Conduct ongoing database administration - tuning, patching, backup and restore, indexing, and general maintenance - across managed relational and warehouse stores (RDS PostgreSQL and Redshift; SQL Server legacy)
  • Manage the Huwise open-data portal and CKAN data catalog; ensure accurate, timely dataset publication and support new data visualizations
  • Monitor platform health, logging, and alerts; perform initial incident triage and response by severity level
  • Monitor data quality and observability - pipeline execution, data freshness, completeness, and volume anomalies
  • Maintain and update SOPs, runbooks, and operational documentation at least quarterly, and within 30 days of a new or updated data-product release
  • Deliver monthly SLA performance reporting - pipeline success rates, incident summaries, data availability, and operational metrics - plus a monthly database health and maintenance report
  • Provide end-user support and training related to database access, credentials, and data-usage tools
  • Ensure backups meet documented RTO/RPO objectives and that o
    • perations sustain the required successful-run rate
    • Support ATO maintenance, FISMA compliance, and protection of PII and CUI in coordination with the agency IT and security teams

    Profile of Success
    Required:
    • Minimum 5 years of database administration and data-operations experience, including production support
    • Hands-on experience administering Amazon Redshift, RDS (PostgreSQL or SQL Server), or comparable managed data stores - backup and restore, tuning, patching, and performance optimization
    • Experience operating AWS data services (Glue, Lambda, Step Functions, S3) in a production environment
    • Experience designing and maintaining relational schemas, star/snowflake models, indexes, and partition strategies
    • Proficiency in SQL; working proficiency in Python for operational scripting and automation
    • Experience monitoring platform health, logging, and alerting, with incident triage and resolution under SLAs
    • Experience producing SOPs, runbooks, and operational or governance artifacts for federal or regulated stakeholders
    • Familiarity with Agile/Scrum methodologies and ceremonies
    • Excellent written and oral communication; strong troubleshooting and attention to detail

    Preferred:
    • AWS certification (e.g., SysOps Administrator - Associate, Data Engineer - Associate, or Solutions Architect - Associate)
    • Experience with open-data platforms - CKAN, Huwise, or comparable data portals
    • Experience with data-validation tooling (e.g., Great Expectations) and data catalogs (AWS Glue, Lake Formation)
    • Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and CI/CD
    • Prior federal experience; familiarity with FISMA, ATO maintenance, and Privacy Act and CUI handling
      Conditions of Employment
      • U.S. Citizenship is required
      • Must obtain and maintain a favorably adjudicated Minimum Background Investigation (MBI, Moderate Risk) prior to accessing client systems, and maintain that clearance level throughout the period of performance
      • Fully remote; work performed within the continental United States; no travel is required or anticipated
