Is the Operations (Tech) role on-site?

Yes — this role is on-site at the client's Alpharetta, GA location, five days per week. The client's culture and delivery cadence are calibrated around in-person collaboration for this position. Relocation support may be available for the right candidate; the recruiter will confirm during your calibration call.

Is this a contract or full-time role?

This is a contract opportunity on ApTask's payroll. If selected, you will be employed by ApTask and will receive a W-2 for the duration of your assignment. During your engagement, you will be eligible for subsidized benefits, including medical, dental, vision insurance, a 401(k) plan, commuter benefits, and state-mandated paid sick leave. Your pay cycle (weekly or biweekly, as applicable) will be confirmed at the time of your offer. You'll also have a dedicated ApTask recruiter as your single point of contact throughout your assignment, providing ongoing support from onboarding through completion. Many of our contract opportunities are extended or converted to permanent positions based on business needs and performance. Your recruiter can share the client's historical extension and conversion trends during the interview process. Benefits, assignment duration, extension, conversion opportunities, and eligibility are subject to client requirements, business needs, and applicable plan terms.

What is the compensation range for this role?

The advertised range for this Operations (Tech) role is $63.66–$63.66 per hour. Where you land within the band depends on validated experience, the specific stack calibration match, and — for contract engagements — the bill-rate the client has locked in for this requisition. The recruiter will discuss the exact number during your calibration call.

How quickly does the interview process move?

If your profile is a fit for this role, you can expect the recruiter's first call within one business day. From there, interview cadence depends on the client's hiring-manager and panel availability. Total time from submission to signed offer varies by client — pre-verified profiles and calibrated submissions cut the noise, but the pace of interviews is driven by the client, not us.

Job Description:

We are seeking an experienced Database Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to support and operate mission-critical database platforms within a fast-paced enterprise environment. This role is focused on operational excellence, reliability, resiliency, automation, and continuous improvement across multiple database technologies.
This is not a development role. We are looking for hands-on database professionals who thrive in production operations, take ownership of issues, understand urgency, and are passionate about improving systems, processes, and themselves.
The ideal candidate views reliability as a product, proactively identifies risks before they become incidents, and continuously seeks opportunities to automate repetitive tasks and improve platform stability.

Key Responsibilities
Database Operations & Reliability

Install, configure, upgrade, patch, and maintain enterprise database platforms.
Ensure availability, performance, recoverability, and security of production database environments.
Monitor database platforms and associated infrastructure, responding rapidly to incidents and service degradations.
Lead troubleshooting efforts for database, operating system, storage, replication, and application connectivity issues.
Execute failovers, disaster recovery testing, and recovery procedures.
Partner with application teams to provide database guidance and operational support.

Platform Engineering

Deploy, maintain, and optimize database infrastructure across physical, virtual, and cloud environments.
Implement scalable, resilient database solutions.
Evaluate and recommend improvements to architecture, monitoring, automation, and operational processes.
Support capacity planning, performance tuning, and platform lifecycle management.

Automation & Continuous Improvement

Develop and maintain automation solutions using Python, Shell, Ansible, or similar technologies.
Help eliminate manual operational activities through engineering and automation.
Improve monitoring, alerting, reporting, and operational workflows.
Drive incremental improvements that reduce risk, improve reliability, and increase operational efficiency.
Performance & Incident Management
Analyze and resolve database performance issues.
Troubleshoot replication, backup/recovery, storage, network, and infrastructure-related incidents.
Participate in root cause analysis and drive permanent corrective actions.
Review operational metrics and trends to identify opportunities for improvement.

Operational Excellence

Maintain accurate operational documentation, standards, and procedures.
Generate and present operational metrics, service health indicators, and reliability reporting.
Participate in incident response activities.
Demonstrate strong ownership from issue identification through resolution.

Required Qualifications

Strong experience administering enterprise database platforms, including:
o Sybase ASE
Oracle RAC
Additional database technologies such as MongoDB, Cassandra, Redis, PostgreSQL, MySQL, or similar platforms are a plus.

Experience performing:

o Installation
Configuration
Upgrades
Patching
Performance tuning
Backup and recovery
High availability and disaster recovery
Experience with database replication technologies including:
o SAP Replication Server
Data Guard
HVR (preferred)
Strong Linux administration skills.

Understanding of storage, networking, operating systems, and infrastructure services.
Experience with Veritas Cluster Server, ASM, LVM, and SAN technologies.
Familiarity with enterprise operational tooling such as Jira, Service Now and Confluence.
Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.

The successful candidate:

Takes ownership and drives issues to closure.
Understands the urgency required to support critical production environments.
Continuously improves systems, processes, and operational effectiveness.
Learns quickly and adapts to new technologies.
Balances operational stability with engineering innovation.
Communicates clearly and effectively during incidents and high-pressure situations.
Demonstrates a strong sense of accountability and professionalism.
Leaves the platform better than they found it every day.
Preferred Mindset
We hire for attitude as much as technical skill.

We're looking for individuals who are:

Customer obsessed
Accountable and dependable
Urgent without being reckless
Continuously learning
Driven to automate repetitive work
Detail-oriented
Collaborative but willing to lead
Focused on long-term platform reliability rather than short-term fixes

About operations at ApTask

What this vertical looks like inside ApTask.

Operations roles at ApTask cover program management, PMO, business analysis, transformation, and change-management positions across enterprise clients. We place operators who translate strategy into delivery — PMPs, Scrum Masters, agile coaches, Six Sigma black belts, and change-management practitioners certified in Prosci or the client's preferred framework. Candidates are validated against the specific enterprise tooling the client runs (ServiceNow, Jira Portfolio, Clarity, Planview) and their prior track record in comparable-scale programs, not generic delivery experience.
