Role Description OEC is in the middle of a multi-year journey to modernize our infrastructure and applications, migrating hundreds of services across dozens of engineering teams to AWS. As Senior Database Administrator, you will play a critical, hands-on leadership role in this transformation — owning the evolution of OEC’s database estate from legacy infrastructure to AWS-managed, cloud-native database services. You will serve as OEC’s principal technical lead on database engineering — setting platform direction, driving migrations to Amazon RDS for SQL Server and Aurora PostgreSQL, and partnering with application engineering, DevOps, security, and cloud infrastructure teams to build a scalable, resilient, and secure AWS-native database operating model. This is a senior, hands-on technical role. It requires deep AWS database expertise, strong architectural judgment, and the ability to lead through influence — shaping decisions, elevating the team, and driving outcomes in a complex, fast-moving transformation environment. What You'll Do - Own the migration of OEC’s database workloads to AWS managed services, focusing on Amazon RDS for SQL Server and Aurora PostgreSQL. - Plan and execute database migrations to AWS using DMS and SCT; own the technical delivery of lift-and-shift and re-platform migrations. - Architect and operate AWS managed database environments with multi-AZ high availability, automated failover, RDS Proxy, and AWS Backup. - Implement and maintain database infrastructure as code using Terraform; define IaC standards for AWS managed service provisioning. - Lead cross-functional incident response and formal root cause analysis. - Manage database systems for resiliency, scalability, performance, and availability through cloud-native AWS services. - Enforce data governance and security using AWS Secrets Manager, IAM database authentication, KMS encryption, and automated backup policies. - Mentor and coach junior and mid-level DBAs on cloud-first AWS patterns. Qualifications - A bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university, with a focus in information technology/science, or related discipline. - Equivalent work experience directly related to the key responsibilities of the role will be considered as a substitute for the degree. Requirements - Deep, proven expertise in AWS cloud-native database services. - Demonstrated experience executing database migrations using AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) and AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT). - Proficiency in AWS database security and governance tooling. - Solid working knowledge of AWS-native monitoring and observability tools. - Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code using Terraform for AWS managed service provisioning. - Hands-on experience migrating Microsoft SQL Server and PostgreSQL workloads to AWS managed services. - Demonstrated ability to contribute to technology strategy, platform evaluation, and enterprise database standards. Benefits - Full benefits starting Day 1: Medical, Dental, and Vision. - 401(k) with company match. - Unlimited Flex Time Off plus 10 company-paid holidays. - Remote-first role with monthly communication stipend. - Professional development programs, tuition assistance, and quarterly book program. - Free wellness coaching and pet insurance. - Home office equipment stipend. - Employee resource groups and exclusive employee discounts.
