Database Administrator

Job Overview

Hyve Solutions is seeking experienced Database Administrators to join our global DBA team. You will be responsible for managing and supporting a diverse portfolio of database technologies across 400+ instances, including Sybase, MySQL, Vertica, PostgreSQL, MS SQL, DB2, Hive, and ClickHouse. These roles will focus exclusively on supporting Hyve Solutions database infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities

Perform advanced database administration tasks for Sybase, MySQL, Vertica, PostgreSQL, and MS SQL. This includes installation, configuration, replication setup, version upgrades, patch management, performance monitoring, and advanced troubleshooting. Support both on-prem and cloud-hosted environments (AWS RDS, Azure SQL Database, Google Cloud SQL, etc.).

Forecast storage, IOPS, and compute requirements for current and future workloads. Implement and maintain scalable, resilient database infrastructure to support business growth and high-throughput applications.

Implement and maintain high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) strategies, including clustering, Always On availability groups, logical and physical replication, backup/restore validation, and geo-redundancy. Conduct DR drills and BCP testing.

Perform database schema and object design, DDL scripting, stored procedure/function development, testing, and deployment using version-controlled pipelines. Implement routine maintenance plans including reorgs, update stats, and index optimization.

Review and optimize complex SQL and database code in Sybase, MySQL, Vertica, PostgreSQL, and MS SQL. Implement query rewrites, index tuning, and system-level tuning (buffer pool sizing, parallelism, I/O tuning) to resolve deep performance bottlenecks.

Support application developers with database analysis, ER modeling, schema changes, controlled test data setup, data masking, bulk data loads, legacy data restoration, and SQL tuning. Actively participate in code reviews and performance testing.

Collaborate on database design and optimization with development teams, including indexing strategies, execution plan analysis, and workload balancing. Recommend improvements based on profiling and AWR-like reports.

Conduct regular database maintenance, patching, and security hardening, including encryption (at rest/in-transit), auditing, user role reviews, vulnerability scanning, and timely remediation. Lead incident response and root cause analysis for database-related outages.

Develop and maintain automation tools and scripts (e.g., in Bash, Python, PowerShell, or Ansible) to streamline database operations, backups, deployments, and monitoring tasks. Integrate with CI/CD pipelines for DevOps alignment.

Enforce best practices and execute large-scale database upgrades and migrations, including cross-platform (e.g., Solaris to Linux, Sybase to MySQL, SAP to CIS, or on-prem to cloud), version upgrades, collation changes, and data movement across heterogeneous systems. Validate with rollback strategies and cutover rehearsal.

Enforce database development and operational standards, including naming conventions, CI checks, DR documentation, and security baselines. Maintain database to compliance with industry regulations (GDPR, HIPAA, SOX) and internal audit requirements.
