The successful candidate will leverage advanced AI coding tools and enterprise AI agent platforms to accelerate delivery, reduce manual toil, and drive continuous improvement across the database landscape.

• Design, implement, and manage Oracle, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server databases with a focus on high availability, reliability, and peak performance
• Conduct regular system audits, capacity planning, and performance tuning — including query optimization, index strategy, and wait-event analysis
• Administer clustering, Always On Availability Groups (AOAG), and replication technologies to ensure continuous data availability
• Maintain robust backup, recovery, and disaster-recovery strategies and regularly validate recoverability targets (RTO/RPO)
• Lead and execute USANA’s on-premises to AWS RDS migration, covering Oracle, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server workloads
• Architect and implement AWS RDS and Aurora configurations, including Multi-AZ deployments, read replicas, and automated backups
• Configure AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) and Schema Conversion Tool (SCT) for schema translation and data transfer
• Develop and maintain advanced Python and Bash automation scripts using AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) to accelerate development
• Design, build, and implement end-to-end automated AI workflows using enterprise AI agent and MCP platforms such as TrueFoundry
• Develop, implement, and enforce database security policies including role-based access control, auditing, data masking, and encryption standards
• Manage database secrets, credentials, and certificates using AWS Secrets Manager and organizational vault solutions
• Collaborate with IT, application development, and data engineering teams to align database architecture with business strategy
• Provide technical mentorship and guidance to junior and mid-level DBAs, fostering a culture of knowledge-sharing and continuous learning
• Participate in on-call rotation for critical database incidents and provide timely escalation and resolution

What You Will Need

What Will Make You Standout

• Hands-on experience with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor) and enterprise AI agent/MCP platforms for workflow automation
• Experience with Quest SharePlex replication and Always On Availability Groups (AOAG)
• AWS certification (e.g., Database Specialty, Solutions Architect) is a strong plus
