Harvey Performance Company•Rowley, MA

About The Position

We’re adding a DBA Developer to our Enterprise Data team to help support and scale a complex SQL Server environment. This is a hands-on role where you’ll own the health, performance, and structure of our databases, while also contributing to development work that powers reporting and data movement across the business. This role exists because the environment has outgrown the current team. There’s a lot already built, but not enough bandwidth to stay ahead of everything. You’ll step in to help stabilize, improve, and expand what’s in place, working closely with a small, experienced team. Day to day, most of your time will lean toward core DBA work, keeping systems running, resolving issues, database and query performance, as well as maintaining up time. Over time, you’ll collaborate with more development and project work, building data pipelines, data lake, data warehouse, supporting reporting, and helping shape how data flows across the organization. You’ll also get exposure to a wide range of systems and teams. This isn’t a sit-in-the-corner DBA role. You’ll work with engineering, operations, and business stakeholders, helping translate real problems into technical solutions.
