Job description

As Sr. Database Engineer I (Security Focus), you'll design, deploy, and sustain secure database environments that support enterprise security platforms, analytics, and SIEM capabilities in classified, missioncritical systems. This role partners with cybersecurity, SIEM, and infrastructure teams to support enclavebased data migrations, optimize highvolume log and telemetry pipelines, and ensure resilient backup and recovery. The ideal candidate has strong experience with relational and NoSQL databases, performance tuning for largescale security data, and implementing encryption and access controls in TS/SCI environments under federal compliance requirements.

We know that you can't have great technology services without amazing people. At MetroStar, we are obsessed with our people and have led a two-decade legacy of building the best and brightest teams.

  • Experience supporting large-scale data environments (log aggregation, telemetry, event data) 
  • Knowledge of database performance tuning and optimization 
  • Experience implementing encryption at rest and in transit 
  • Understanding of data retention policies and compliance requirements 
  • Familiarity with Linux-based database environments

SALARY RANGE: $138,000 - $162,000
