Database Administrator - Experian Health - Remote
Expedia- Full Time
- Junior (1 to 2 years)
Candidates must possess at least 5 years of experience in enterprise database engineering, preferably within the insurance or financial services industry. They should have expertise in Oracle databases, specifically versions 11g through 23ai, with deep knowledge of Exadata and ExaCC infrastructure and experience in large-scale Exadata upgrades. Strong hands-on experience with Snowflake, including administration, security, and compute optimization is required, along with advanced SQL and PL/SQL skills focused on performance, scalability, and automation. Practical experience with AWS database services, such as Aurora PostgreSQL and RDS, and familiarity with migration tooling like DMS and SCT are also necessary.
The Senior Database Engineer will support the X9 to X11 Exadata upgrade from an application engineering perspective, including capacity planning for platform migrations and generating metrics reports. They will conduct performance tuning and query optimization across large datasets, supporting both Oracle and Snowflake environments for data warehousing, reporting, and advanced analytics. The role involves helping implement and optimize databases for GenAI models, including support for vectorized search, data pipelines, and AI-ready datasets. Leading database modernization efforts, such as Oracle to PostgreSQL Aurora migrations, while working with application owners to plan and refactor schemas, stored procedures, and integrations is crucial. Optimizing database systems for performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency across large-scale, multi-terabyte insurance datasets will be a key responsibility. Providing deep expertise in AWS database services, including RDS, Aurora PostgreSQL, and native AWS monitoring and performance tuning tools is also required. Evaluating new technologies to guide and support cost-cutting related to software and infrastructure initiatives, implementing data controls and governance aligned with industry regulations and internal risk frameworks, and partnering with infrastructure teams to automate environment provisioning and monitoring using modern tooling such as Splunk will contribute to the team’s success. Finally, mentoring junior engineers and contributing to building a resilient, high-performing database engineering function is an important aspect of the role.
