Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the US on a full-time basis now and in the future.
We are building a team for a leading healthcare analytics & diagnostics company. We are currently searching for an experienced Database Engineer and Administrator to join the team to own performance improvements, maintenance, migration, and usage of the internal AWS database (primarily mySQL) environment.
To be considered you must have strong mySQL Database administration experience, with Postgre
SQL, Aurora, SQL Server, being helpful as well. You will be responsible for database performance (tables/views, indexing, data normalization, etc), backups & recovery, etc. You will also be sitting within a broader devops team and will interface with cloud, infrastructure, and deployment, and automation teams, so any exposure to infrastructure-as-code, terraform, docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, or scripting, would also be helpful.
While you would be working within a larger tech org, this is a small, newer team with a high degree of opportunity for autonomy & influence. Prior experience managing vendors, working with internal‑stakeholder‑heavy positions, and making architecture or technology/tooling decisions is also a plus.
This is a direct‑hire, fully remote position within the US.
