About The Position

Jahnel Group is seeking a Database Administrator to join their team. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving data-related problems, working through a high volume of technical tickets, and digging into SQL to identify root causes and implement solutions. This is not a traditional DBA position. Instead, the company is looking for someone with strong SQL skills who enjoys hands-on troubleshooting, reporting, data fixes, and supporting business-critical applications. The ideal candidate is comfortable rolling up their sleeves, learning complex business logic, and working closely with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. The role involves investigating and resolving application and data-related support tickets, writing and executing SQL scripts for data updates and maintenance, troubleshooting production and UAT issues, identifying root causes of system issues, supporting reporting and operational data requests, and modifying existing stored procedures and queries. The position also requires collaboration with developers, business analysts, and stakeholders, and participation in ongoing application support and maintenance.
