Svitla Systems Inc. is looking for a Senior Database Administrator for a full-time position (40 hours per week) in Colombia. Our client provides fully integrated software systems to manage all facets of accounting and transaction management for upstream, midstream, and transportation verticals of the oil & gas industry. Whether it is an analysis of existing reports to consolidate/eliminate, migrating historical data, or prototyping allocations, the client has the experience to optimize the experience with the software suite. Relied on by more than 100 oil & gas companies, the company accelerates business performance, boosts operational efficiency, and drives down costs with an ERP solution built for the cloud. Unlike other ERP software that loosely ties together a mix of legacy solutions and fragmented technologies, the client designed a unified upstream and midstream ERP platform to eliminate data silos and the burden and costs of maintaining multiple systems. With cloud-based and on-premises options, their fully integrated suite provides the best end-to-end solution. Faster setup, performance, reporting, and simple upgrades leave more time to analyze your data and run the business. Requirements 5+ years of strong experience in DB engineering, administration, and production operations on cloud, specifically MSSQL, Databricks, Azure, Aurora PostgreSQL, AWS Athena, AWS RDS, and any flavour of NoSQL DBs (DynamoDB). Hands-on experience with cloud database solutions and infrastructure in Azure and AWS, including optimizing VM and disk configurations for cost and performance. Understanding high-availability (HA) clusters, read replica management, and transactional replication. Expertise in database performance tuning and optimization. Solid knowledge of SQL and one or more programming languages, such as Python/Bash. Strong experience in big data tech stack and multiple cloud platforms. Understanding data modelling, quality, security, and governance principles and practices. Knowledge of big data platforms (e.g., Hadoop, Spark, Delta Lake, Databricks). Familiarity with database monitoring and DevOps tools (for example, Datadog, Grafana, Azure Monitor). Exposure to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform or CloudFormation. Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills. Responsibilities Work closely with data engineering, analytics, and ERP teams to align database strategies with business goals. Lead database administration and optimize relational databases (e.g., SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL) and NoSQL databases (e.g., DynamoDB). Support ERP database migrations, upgrades, and performance tuning. Conduct database performance tuning, indexing, and query optimization for relational and analytical workloads. Help secure access and permissions in multi-tenant SQL servers. Analyze and recommend performance optimization strategies for single and multi-tenant database environments. Assess and recommend VM and disk configurations in cloud platforms like Azure and AWS for optimal performance. Help the DevOps team automate routine database tasks for cloud-hosted and on-premises databases. Set up and maintain database replication strategies, including transactional replication for real-time updates and scaling. Ensure data availability, consistency, and integrity across ERP systems and analytics platforms. We offer US and EU projects based on advanced technologies. Competitive compensation based on skills and experience. Remote-friendly culture and no micromanagement. Christmas Bonus in the amount of 15 days' salary.
