Its centralized 1EXIGER.AI platform allows organizations to manage their entire operating network, from parts to suppliers, regulators, and customers, through an autonomous agentic workforce that learns, adapts, and augments with every decision. The AI-native platform, combined with the largest supply chain knowledge asset, empowers 550+ global customers, including 150 Fortune 500 and 80+ government and defense industrial organizations, to act first. Exiger is FedRAMP® authorized and a 2x Leader in Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Supplier Risk Management.\nLocation: U.S. (Hybrid or Remote)\nWork Environment: Hybrid / Remote, with travel to customer sites as engagements require\nAbout Exiger\nExiger is transforming how governments and global enterprises manage supply chain, risk, and compliance. Our flagship AI platform, 1Exiger, unifies supplier, product, part, component, and risk data into a single platform spanning Supply Chain, Risk & Compliance, and Software Supply Chain Security. Exiger serves more than 60 federal agencies and 150 Fortune 500 companies, is FedRAMP Authorized, and was named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Supplier Risk Management Solutions.\nExiger's EGS Delivery organization partners directly with U.S. federal agencies to deploy AI-driven supply chain, risk, and mission-intelligence capabilities. Our engineering team is centralized: we build reusable solutions once and replicate them across the federal programs we serve, working directly with the mission owners and program leadership who depend on them. Engineers here stay customer-facing while building for a portfolio, not a single program.\nAbout the Role\nWe are hiring a Database Engineer to own the data plane patterns our federal programs run on. Rather than administering one program's databases, you will build the database engineering practice that every program inherits: reference schema conventions, replication and recovery patterns proven by real drills, zero-downtime migration tooling, and the security posture that keeps production data stores authorizable inside a FedRAMP boundary. When a new program stands up, its data plane starts from your patterns instead of from scratch.\nThe role stays hands-on and production-facing. You will operate shared data infrastructure, support program teams running data planes built on your patterns, carry escalation for the hardest database problems across engagements, and represent data posture (residency, retention, encryption, access) in customer-context conversations.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn the reference database posture programs adopt: instance design, replication topology, parameter tuning, connection management, query plan health.\nSet and govern schema conventions across programs. Treat schema as an interface other engineers consume, and the conventions as a product they inherit.\nBuild the backup, restore, and disaster-recovery patterns as reusable tooling, proven by real recovery drills, not program-by-program improvisation.\nOwn database security patterns inside the FedRAMP boundary: encryption at rest and in transit, least-privilege access, audit logging, replicated across engagements.\nBuild and maintain zero-downtime migration and schema change tooling program teams use on live traffic.\nPartner with Platform Engineering on the shared infrastructure seam (cluster topology, parameter groups, snapshot policy, monitoring) and with Data Engineering on the production-to-analytics seam.\nSupport program teams operating on your patterns, and carry escalation on-call for the data plane across the portfolio.\nSit in customer-context conversations about data posture (residency, retention, encryption, access) across programs.\nWhat You Need\n5+ years of production database engineering at scale on at least one major relational engine (PostgreSQL preferred; Aurora, MySQL, or Oracle at depth also acceptable).\nStrong query plan literacy; can read EXPLAIN ANALYZE and reason about it without a profiler.\nProduction experience with zero-downtime schema migrations on live traffic.\nProduction experience with at least one OLAP or analytics store (Redshift, Snowflake, BigQuery, ClickHouse).\nProduction experience on AWS, particularly RDS / Aurora (PostgreSQL flavor preferred).\nHands-on experience inside a FedRAMP boundary (Moderate or High).\nExperience building database patterns, tooling, or standards consumed by teams beyond your own (central DBRE / DBA practice experience is directly relevant).\nFamiliarity with the database side of an ATO continuous-monitoring cycle.\nStrong customer-facing posture: comfortable explaining data residency, retention, and encryption decisions in front of a customer.\nAbility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance.\nNice to Have\nHands-on experience with both row-store and column-store engines in the same environment.\nFamiliarity with logical replication topologies (Postgres logical replication, AWS DMS) for CDC into an analytics layer.\nExperience with vector storage (pgvector, OpenSearch k-NN, Pinecone) for ML retrieval workloads.\nExperience with database security tooling at federal grade (TDE, Vault, AWS KMS with customer-managed keys).\nPostGIS or other spatial extension experience for geospatial domains.\nExperience operating in IL5, IL6, or JWICS environments.\nClearance Requirements\nActive U.S. Government security clearance preferred (Secret minimum for most engagements; TS or TS/SCI required for a subset). Candidates without an active clearance must be able to obtain one. Clearance level will be confirmed at offer.\nWhy You'll Love Working at Exiger\nHigh-performance culture rooted in accountability, collaboration, and a shared commitment to excellence.\nDiscretionary Time Off for all employees, with no maximum limits on time off.\nIndustry leading health, vision, and dental benefits.\nCompetitive compensation package.\n16 weeks of fully paid parental leave.\nFlexible, hybrid approach to working from home and in the office where applicable.\nFocus on wellness and employee health through stipends and dedicated wellness programming.\nPurposeful career development programs with reimbursement provided for educational certifications.\nExiger is an equal opportunity employer.
