We are a successful Information Technology firm with a large staff currently providing superior information technology and advanced engineering services around the world. Our success is built on attracting and retaining quality staff through a highly competitive benefits package with a special focus on continuing career development and corporate financial support. We also maintain a collegial working environment and offer our staff opportunities to improve and enhance their skills.\nGLOTECH is committed to a comprehensive employee benefits program that helps our employees stay healthy, feel secure and maintain a work/life balance. We provide medical dental and vision care, disability insurance (short and long term), Life & AD&D Insurance, Flexible Spending Accounts (Healthcare, Dependent Care and Commuter Transportation and Parking Reimbursement), and Employee Assistance Programs. Additionally, we provide Annual Leave, Sick Leave, Holiday Pay, Educational Assistance, Certification /Training Reimbursement, and a 401(k)-retirement savings contribution plan (with employer match).\nResponsibilities\nGLOTECH, Inc. is seeking a Database Architect to support the corporate office of SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, located in Orlando, Florida. Prefer local candidates to the Orlando, FL or surrounding area as this role will be required to be onsite one day per week. Remote candidates will only be considered from SeaWorld approved states (OR NJ CT WA NC VA CA FL PA TX). This position requires “on call” responsibilities for one week each month and also requires being on support 24/7 for high-priority system outages. This candidate will join a database team size of five people including the director and four other senior DBA's.\nThe ideal candidate will be in a technical lead architect role as the Director’s “right hand”. Their responsibilities include architect work 25% of the time, technical lead work 25% of the time and senior DBA work 50% of the time.\nArchitect breakdown (25%): The architect work entails having experience thinking of applications that could help streamline or create efficiency for a specific business problem. This person must have brought an application from conception through development AKA finding a business problem, creating a solution, designing that solution and then building it out. They will be responsible for architecting some work internal to the database team from concept to design to execution. An example of this work is building customized applications into the environment to monitor systems. Specifically, the person in this role before built a tool that could access the data in an effort to deploy it across fleets to see what users were accessing what systems. This tool could technically serve as an audit tool, but it was moreso used to determine what systems were not being used like hosts, databases, systems, etc. so that they could then be decommissioned.\nTechnical lead breakdown (25%): The technical lead work entails having experience working with cross department teams and working with them in order to ensure their application plans will be feasible with the database. This person must have the business acumen to work with other stakeholders and developers from other teams to guide, aid and solution how their specific application can or cannot integrate with the database (and if there’s an issue where it can’t interact, how can we get it there). This means they will be working with other application teams to design, implementation and make decisions on their applications so that it can integrate with all of the systems at SeaWorld. Basically, full SDLC knowledge and being able to document a written design plan, as well as why or why not a particular application would work. They will be working hand in hand on this type of work with the Director.\nSenior DBA breakdown (50%): This person must be proficient in all versions of MS SQL server, SSIS and have a decent amount of experience/knowledge working with Azure cloud. This DBA will be responsible for the implementation, configuration, maintenance, and performance of critical SQL Server systems, to ensure the availability and consistent performance of our corporate applications. This is a hands-on position requiring solid technical skills as well as excellent interpersonal and communication skills. They will be responsible for the development and sustainment of SQL Server environments (DEV, QA, UAT and PROD), ensuring its operational readiness (security, health, and performance), performance tuning and data modeling in support of multiple development teams and 3rd party vendor products. The environments support an enterprise application suite of OLTP and OLAP solutions. The individual must be capable of working independently and collaboratively with the ability to quickly understand complex data solutions and schema. There are gaps right now as it pertains to the DBA team with the cloud and support will be needed with replication work - on a day to day, this person will be responsible for replicating, checking if backups have failed, re running tests, checking services (for example, sometimes they have alerts of discontention so they need to check the IO to see if there's a bottleneck that needs tuning), checking the health of the databases overall, performing tests on various settings within the databases and adjusting accordingly, etc. Additionally, this person will be writing queries in SQL sometimes but mostly setting up and configuring within MS SQL. They will be responsible for collecting metrics on servers that report back to the repository but need to migrate this to SSIS so it works well with the BI team.\nRESPONSIBILITIES:\nManage SQL Server databases through multiple product lifecycle environments, from development to mission-critical production systems.\nConfigure and maintain database servers and processes, including monitoring of system health and performance, to ensure high levels of performance, availability, and security.\nApply data modeling techniques to ensure development and implementation support efforts meet integration and performance expectations.\nAssist with design and implementation of a data loading tool to move sanitized data from production to a non-production environment.\nIndependently analyze, solve, and correct issues in real time, providing problem resolution end-to-end.\nRefine and automate regular processes, track issues, and document changes.\nAssist developers with complex query tuning and schema refinement.\nParticipate in an on-call rotation to provide 24x7 support for critical production systems.\nPerform scheduled maintenance and support release deployment activities after hours.\nShare domain and technical expertise, providing technical mentorship and cross-training to other peers and team members.\nMonitor and apply SQL Server Service Packs and Cumulative Updates.\nQualifications\n7+ years MS SQL Server Administration experience required\nPerformance Tuning and Optimization, using native monitoring and troubleshooting tools\nStrong experience with backups, restores and recovery models\nExpert level t-SQL tuning\nExperience developing and maintaining SSIS packages\nExperience migrating sanitized data from production to non-production environments\nKnowledge of High Availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR) options for SQL Server\nExperience working with Windows server including Windows Clustering\nAbility to organize and plan work independently\nAbility to work in a rapidly changing environment\nAbility to multi-task and context-switch effectively between different activities and teams\nStrong experience with AlwaysOn Availability Groups\nIn depth knowledge and experience with SQL Server replication\nExperience or good working knowledge of cloud platforms (Azure/AWS) with both VMs and DBaaS\nNICE TO HAVE\nExperience with the following toolsSpotlight Monitoring \nHost Monitor\nLitespeed\nJira\nConfluence\nOpsgenie\nMicrosoft Teams\n\nExperience with MySQL\nExperience with Oracle\nExperience with SAP BusinessObjects\nExperience with tools (such as ER Studio) to reverse engineer databases\nExperience with one or more object-oriented programming language\nStrong PowerShell skills\nGLOTECH, Inc. is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer -
