About the role
We are hiring a Database Engineer to own the data plane patterns our federal programs run on. Rather than administering one program's databases, you will build the database engineering practice that every program inherits: reference schema conventions, replication and recovery patterns proven by real drills, zero-downtime migration tooling, and the security posture that keeps production data stores authorizable inside a FedRAMP boundary.
What they're looking for
- Own the reference database posture programs adopt: instance design, replication topology, parameter tuning, connection management, query plan health
- Set and govern schema conventions across programs. Treat schema as an interface other engineers consume, and the conventions as a product they inherit
- Build the backup, restore, and disaster-recovery patterns as reusable tooling, proven by real recovery drills, not program-by-program improvisation
- Own database security patterns inside the FedRAMP boundary: encryption at rest and in transit, least-privilege access, audit logging, replicated across engagements
- Build and maintain zero-downtime migration and schema change tooling program teams use on live traffic
- Partner with Platform Engineering on the shared infrastructure seam (cluster topology, parameter groups, snapshot policy, monitoring) and with Data Engineering on the production-to-analytics seam
