SENIOR DATABASE ADMINISTRATOR

Position mission: Provide full DB2 database engineering and administration for FMWorkFlow, including performance, integrity, recovery, resilience, and integration with WebSphere and the supporting infrastructure.

Duties:
  • Administer production and nonproduction DB2 environments.
  • Design and maintain database schemas.
  • Conduct database performance analysis and capacity planning.
  • Tune database performance and optimize queries.
  • Diagnose database degradation, failures, locking, connectivity, and cross-stack issues.
  • Protect data integrity and reconcile identified exceptions.
  • Engineer and validate backup, restoration, and recovery activities.
  • Support resilience and COOP planning.
  • Maintain controlled database configurations in development and test environments.
  • Manage test data consistent with security and sensitivity requirements.
  • Coordinate DB2 integration with WebSphere middleware and the supporting Windows/Linux and virtual infrastructure.
  • Support patching, updates, corrective maintenance, and system modifications.
  • Validate database performance and data integrity after changes.
  • Maintain database configuration, recovery, test, and operating documentation.
  • Provide advanced technical escalation for database-related incidents.

Required candidate qualifications
  • Direct DB2 administration is required. General SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, or MySQL experience alone does not demonstrate the required capability.
  • Demonstrate work involving WebSphere integration or comparable direct troubleshooting of the DB2-to-WebSphere stack. WebSphere familiarity without DB2 administration is not.
Additional Requirements to demonstrate:
  • DB2 versions and operating environments personally administered.
  • Schema-design responsibilities.
  • Performance-tuning and query-optimization examples.
  • Backup, restoration, recovery, failover, or resilience work.
  • Data-integrity incidents or reconciliation activities personally resolved.
  • WebSphere connectivity or cross-stack troubleshooting.
  • Development/test database administration and test-data handling.

Access requirement
The position is likely to require privileged or root-level system access. The candidate must be able to obtain the favorable trustworthiness determination based on an SSBI when required for the assigned access.

Anticipated start: September 28, 2026

Primary work location: Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota. Occasional work at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio.

Project Length: Up to 4.5 years

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
