We’re looking for a Database Administrator (DBA) to support the modernization and maintenance of mission-critical data systems within a national law enforcement environment.

You’ll work on databases supporting digital investigations, data intelligence, and analytical systems, combining traditional database management with emerging technologies like Graph DB and Vector DB to support AI-driven initiatives.

Your role spans from maintenance of existing environments to the deployment of new database technologies, ensuring performance, scalability, and data security across complex systems.

What You’ll Do

Phase 1 – Stabilization & Optimization

• Maintain and evolve existing PostgreSQL (relational) and Elasticsearch (non-relational) environments.
• Develop automated backup procedures and ensure reliable data recovery mechanisms.
• Support development teams working on legacy software using a DB-first approach, focusing on data structure migrations and stored procedure replacement.
• Participate in maintaining and integrating a centralized logging platform based on Kafka.

Phase 2 – Modernization & Innovation

• Contribute to performance and security improvements in large-scale applications used for operational workflows.
• Support CI/CD integration and automation using GitLab and Kubernetes/OpenShift clusters.
• Help design and deploy environments for Graph databases (Neo4j) and Vector databases (Milvus) to support next-generation data projects.
• Implement and maintain automated processes for migrations, backups, and deployments.
• Work in Agile teams, managing priorities and delivering within deadlines.
