You’ll provide your client with peace of mind as you analyze policies and procedures to ensure the security and integrity of the database. You’ll use technology and tools like OEM, CloudWatch, and Dynatrace to identify problem areas and opportunities for improvement in a mission-critical database.

In this role, you’ll closely impact the Department of Veterans Affairs by modernizing benefits systems. With your technical expertise, mentoring, and opportunities to learn new tools and skills, we’ll focus on growing as a team to make the best solutions for our customers.
