Database Administrator
Indexed description
We get to build some of the most complex and compelling applications for our clients located across the country. We’re a fast-growing INC 5000 recognized company, yet we still work as a very close-knit team (100+ employees). We’re growing like crazy, and if you’re looking for the next place to call home, hit us up for a beer or coffee.
Who We’re Looking For
We're looking for a Database Administrator to join our team. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving data-related problems, working through a high volume of technical tickets, and digging into SQL to identify root causes and implement solutions.
This is not a traditional DBA position. Instead, we're looking for someone with strong SQL skills who enjoys hands-on troubleshooting, reporting, data fixes, and supporting business-critical applications. The ideal candidate is comfortable rolling up their sleeves, learning complex business logic, and working closely with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Primary Responsibilities
Instead of the typical job description, here's a breakdown of the tasks and qualities we're looking for in our next team member:
- Investigate and resolve application and data-related support tickets.
- Write, test, and execute SQL scripts to perform data updates, corrections, and maintenance activities.
- Troubleshoot production and UAT issues by analyzing data, stored procedures, and application behavior.
- Identify root causes of system issues and work with development teams to implement solutions.
- Support reporting and operational data requests across multiple business functions.
- Modify and maintain existing stored procedures, queries, and database processes.
- Collaborate with developers, business analysts, and stakeholders to understand system workflows and business rules.
- Participate in ongoing application support, maintenance, and enhancement initiatives.
- Strong SQL experience, including complex queries, joins, subqueries, and stored procedures.
- Experience troubleshooting data issues and performing production data analysis.
- Familiarity with SQL Server or similar relational database platforms.
- Ability to understand and navigate complex business logic within existing systems.
- Experience working in ticket-driven support or maintenance environments.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
- Comfortable working independently while collaborating with cross-functional teams.
- Experience with Java applications is a plus but not required.
- Experience supporting enterprise business applications is preferred.
- DBA experience is not required.
- Enjoys solving puzzles and digging into data.
- Comfortable working through a steady stream of tickets and operational requests.
- Takes ownership of issues from discovery through resolution.
- Understands that not every role is greenfield development and finds satisfaction in keeping critical systems running smoothly.
- Has a "grinder" mentality and takes pride in being dependable.
- Schenectady, New York
- Local candidates preferred
- 100% Remote for the right candidate
- Salary Range: $65,000 - $75,000+
- Salary is negotiable and the range can be increased based on qualifications, certifications and experience
