The Opportunity:

Your combination of people skills and technical expertise makes you the team hero, solving one problem after another. As a database administrator, you will perform back-up and recovery, analyze and resolve database system production problems, analyze user requirements and use cases, participate in database design and implementation, prepare system documentation, and support data analysis on application databases in a primarily AWS cloud environment. You’ll work with systems such as Oracle RDS, Oracle stand alone and pluggable databases, and Postgres RDS databases. At Booz Allen, you can use those skills to improve the database technology supporting the Army. 

On our team, you will serve as a database subject matter expert on a small team supporting 50+ applications. In this role, you’ll closely impact your client with peace of mind as you implement policies and procedures to ensure the security and integrity of the database. You’ll use technology and tools to identify problem areas and opportunities for improvement in mission-critical databases. With your technical expertise, mentoring, and opportunities to learn new tools and skills, we’ll focus on growing as a team to make the best solutions for our customers.
