Job Description
We are seeking a Senior Database Administrator to join our Technology Platform team, dedicated to the Hospice business unit. You will lead the AWS database modernization effort for a recently migrated healthcare platform — driving the strategy for self-managed SQL Server on EC2 (migration to AWS RDS and/or version upgrade off SQL Server 2016 as it approaches end of support), modernizing the existing SSIS ETL and SSRS reporting estate, executing database cost optimization, and upskilling the existing Hospice SQL DBA team on cloud database operations. This is a high-impact role shaping the database strategy for critical healthcare applications serving hospice patients across the United States.

Assess, migrate, and maintain the existing SSIS ETL packages and SSRS reports — either re-platforming to AWS-native ETL and reporting services (e.g., AWS Glue, DMS) or retaining and upgrading them on SQL Server on EC2
Drive database cost optimization: right-sizing instances, evaluating Reserved Instances, storage tiering, and eliminating unnecessary licensing costs
Upskill and mentor the existing Hospice SQL DBA team on AWS database operations, RDS management, and cloud best practices
Establish cloud-native database monitoring, alerting, and performance baselines using Datadog and CloudWatch
Design and implement automated backup, restore, and disaster recovery processes using AWS Backup

8 years of experience in database administration

Hands-on experience with SQL Server version upgrades and end-of-support migrations (e.g., off SQL Server 2016), including compatibility-level and upgrade testing
Strong hands-on experience with SSIS (building, maintaining, and migrating ETL packages) and SSRS (report development and administration)
Experience with AWS RDS (SQL Server) setup, migration, monitoring, Multi-AZ
Experience with AWS-native ETL and data migration tooling (AWS DMS, AWS Glue) and/or a clear plan for modernizing SSIS-based ETL in AWS

Strong understanding of backup/restore strategies, point-in-time recovery, cross-region replication
Experience with monitoring tools (Datadog, CloudWatch, SQL Server DMVs)
Proficiency in T-SQL, stored procedures, and query optimization
Experience working in regulated environments (HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC2)
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience with AWS Backup, AWS DMS (Database Migration Service), and AWS Glue
Experience migrating or modernizing SSIS/SSRS workloads to AWS-native ETL and reporting services
