10 years overall experience as a Database Administrator

We are looking for a DBA to join the team. This is not a short-term contract. We would prefer to

eventually move the person to being a full-time employee if possible but the primary goal is to have an

employee that can meet our skill requirements. If the selected candidate desires to stay as a contractor

we are more than willing to allow this but will also work to get to being a full-time state employee if

they desire.

They will need to have experience with formal change control environments. They also need strong

troubleshooting skills.

This position is for an expected 40 hours per week Monday through Friday with two days on site. There

is currently a rotation for on call during the period Saturday morning till Monday morning and this

position may be required to assist with this after an initial learning period. Overtime and weekend work

is rare and must be scheduled and approved by our customer. This is generally a scheduled project.

Our environment is predominantly Sybase with SQL Server. We are moving from Sybase to a pure SQL

Server in approximately 3 years. The Sybase environment is 15.7 on Solaris in an X86 hardware

environment within our local network. The SQL Server environment is mixed versions of SQL Server on

mixed versions of Windows Server with an upcoming project to update versions. This environment

includes both servers in our network and in Azure.

Our planned goal is to move off Sybase and a project to do this is underway and thus the need for the

selected candidate to have some experience with both Sybase and SQL Server.

Our primary goal is to have an additional individual to assist with our Sybase 15.7. As a result the

appropriate candidate will need to have Unix background running and developing CRON jobs with

command line experience. The DBA should be familiar with Sybase ASE 15.7. This can be at the level of

a junior DBA. The desire is to have a DBA that can assist with tasks particularly during after hours

implementations that the senior DBAs need completed to reduce the overall time required per DBA.

This position will also help with other tasks that occur during the week such as weekly data fixes which

occur on Thursday and Friday.

The secondary goal is to take work off the SQL Server DBAs. This will require the individual to have

some experience with Windows Servers and with SQL Server. Additionally the person will work with

clusters and with Disaster Recovery in our development test and production environments.

A strong desired experience is migration from Sybase to SQL Server.
