Help Shape Data-Driven Solutions with Impact
We're hiring a skilled Database Engineer (DBE) to support end-to-end database development—from translating raw requirements into usable schema to deploying secure, scalable database systems. If you're passionate about cloud technologies, open-source databases like MongoDB or MariaDB, and working in agile, mission-driven environments, this role is for you.
What You’ll Do
- Design and build relational or object-oriented databases tailored to evolving system requirements.
- Develop database parser and loading tools to support efficient data storage, retrieval, and analysis.
- Support both near-term and long-range goals for database design, architecture, and administration.
- Balance performance factors like data volumes, user loads, response times, retention rules, and security controls to guide architectural decisions.
- Lead database efforts across the development lifecycle—from early requirements through system acceptance and Initial Operational Capability (IOC).
- Translate project needs into structured database schema using ad hoc queries, scripts, and macros.
- Apply cloud methodologies for data storage and retrieval.
