PostgreSQL Database Analyst

Your Work Will Matter

Data is at the heart of national security — and you'll be the one keeping it reliable, secure, and fast. As a Database Analyst supporting our Intelligence Community customer, you won't just manage databases. You'll help ensure that the people who depend on this data can trust it completely, every single day.

If you're a database professional who takes pride in clean architecture, rock-solid availability, and systems that just work — this is the role for you.

What You'll Own

Database Health & Performance

• Keep databases running at peak performance through tuning, monitoring, and proactive alerting


• Design and maintain efficient table structures for both transactional and data warehouse workloads


• Collaborate with developers on schema design, query optimization, and stored procedures

Security & Reliability

• Configure and enforce role-based access control (RBAC) and manage admin/service accounts


• Maintain database integrity and ensure compliance with industry and regulatory standards


• Implement and manage high-availability solutions so downtime is never an option

Migrations & Modernization

• Plan and execute database upgrades, patching, and migrations with minimal disruption


• Evaluate open-source and vendor tools to modernize the environment


• Lead or support migration efforts across Oracle, MySQL, and PostgreSQL platforms

Backup, Recovery & Documentation

• Own backup, restore, and snapshot strategies — because recovery speed matters


• Maintain clear, thorough documentation for configurations, standards, and procedures


• Develop and implement testing strategies and document results

What We're Looking For

Required:

• 5+ years of database analysis and/or administration experience


• Hands-on PostgreSQL administration and performance tuning experience


• Experience with PostgreSQL high-availability solutions and server agent alerts


• Strong knowledge of backup, restore, migration, and snapshot technologies


• Ability to build and maintain efficient table structures for transactional and warehouse data


• Active TS/SCI clearance


• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent experience


• CompTIA Security+ or equivalent certification (recommended)

Bonus Points For:

• Oracle 19c administration and performance tuning experience


• Oracle, MySQL, or cross-platform migration experience


• Familiarity with evaluating and onboarding vendor or open-source database tools

What to Expect Day-to-Day

You'll work with moderate autonomy — trusted to manage your workload and make good technical decisions without someone looking over your shoulder. You'll collaborate with developers and infrastructure teams, advise end-users on best practices, and participate in an on-call rotation for after-hours support. The work is varied, the problems are real, and the mission is meaningful.
