About the role
- Verifone is seeking a Senior SQL Database Administrator to own the performance, availability, and security of their relational fleet across SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and MySQL.
- This role involves hands-on ownership of an active on-prem-to-AWS migration, moving workloads from on-prem and EC2 to RDS/Aurora.
- The person will join a senior team of database engineers and act as a technical lead and coach for junior and mid-level colleagues.
Responsibilities
- Deploy, manage, and tune production databases across on-prem, AWS EC2, and RDS/Aurora.
- Plan and execute cloud migrations and minimal-downtime version upgrades.
- Build and run HA/DR (Always On, clustering, streaming replication) against defined RPO/RTO targets.
- Own backup, recovery, monitoring, and alerting, with automation wherever possible.
- Partner with developers and architects on query tuning, schema/index changes, access requests, and capacity planning.
- Follow ITIL change/incident practices and support PCI compliance.
- Share the on-call rotation across all four platforms.
- Review work and mentor junior and mid-level engineers.
Requirements
- 5-7 years of production database administration experience.
- Deep expertise in any two of SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Oracle, or MySQL, including HA, upgrades, and performance tuning.
- Working knowledge of the other two, enough for BAU and on-call tasks like health checks, backups/restores, access management, and basic troubleshooting.
- Hands-on AWS RDS/Aurora experience, ideally with on-prem-to-cloud migrations.
- Solid Windows and/or Linux fundamentals.
- Real automation skills in Python, Ansible, PowerShell, or Shell.
- Experience with a monitoring tool (New Relic, Datadog, Grafana, SolarWinds, or similar).
Preferred qualifications
- PCI or ITIL exposure
- Terraform/Ansible and CI/CD
- Schema design
- Familiarity with MongoDB, Kafka, Redis, Snowflake, or AWS data services (e.g., Redshift)
Workplace
