Job Description

Database Administrator | Boston, Hybrid | $100,000 - $130,000

A respected professional services firm with over 50 years of success is seeking a Database Administrator to join its Boston-based IT team. This is a hands-on individual contributor role for someone with 3–5 years of SQL Server experience who wants to shape the future of database systems, stay technical, and grow into cloud technologies.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Automation-Focused Environment: Join a team committed to automating and optimizing database operations. Your contributions will directly influence system efficiency and scalability.
  • Path to Cloud Expertise: Long-term growth includes opportunities to learn and work with cloud technologies, positioning you for future-forward roles.
  • Technical Depth Maintained: This role remains hands-on for the long term, ideal for those who enjoy building and engineering without being pushed into management prematurely.

Key Responsibilities

  • Administer SQL Server environments (2016–2019), including performance tuning, backups, and high availability (Clustering, Replication, Always-On)
  • Support disaster recovery testing and ensure database reliability and security
  • Develop stored procedures, views, and ad-hoc queries
  • Collaborate with IT and business teams to resolve database-related issues
  • Participate in a light on-call rotation (2–3 team members; infrequent but required)
  • Contribute to schema design and documentation

Ideal Candidate Profile

  • Approximately 4 years of hands-on experience with SQL Server and T-SQL
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills
  • Growth mindset and adaptability in a fast-evolving tech landscape
  • Comfortable with customer service and ticket-based support work
  • Bonus: Exposure to MySQL, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, or Databricks

Culture and Leadership

  • Reports to a manager who values mentorship and team development
  • Initial focus will be support-heavy, with a clear path toward senior design and project ownership
  • Work in a culture that promotes from within and supports long-term career development
  • Excellent benefits and a stable, well-regarded brand in the professional services sector

The firm are looking to start interviews from this week. so if it sounds like a fit feel free to reach out directly and apply to the role!
