- Configure and maintain high-availability solutions (clustering, replication, Always On Availability Groups)
- Implement and validate backup and disaster recovery strategies
- Enforce database security controls including encryption, access management, and hardening
- Support RMF-aligned security requirements and audit readiness
- Partner with data engineers and integration developers to support ETL/ELT workflows
- Ensure database schemas align with incoming data feeds and integration interfaces
- Maintain documentation aligned with compliance standards
What Makes You Competitive
- Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft SQL Server in enterprise environments
- Experience with clustering, replication, and Always On architectures
- Deep understanding of performance monitoring and tuning tools
- Experience designing and implementing backup and recovery strategies
- Familiarity with RMF and federal security compliance standards
