Buchanan Technologies is seeking a Senior SQL Server DBA to support a client environment in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. This is a hands-on, security-focused DBA role responsible for strengthening the security posture of enterprise SQL Server environments while supporting a major modernization initiative.

The successful candidate will lead database vulnerability remediation efforts and help plan, test, and execute the upgrade of existing SQL Server 2016 environments to SQL Server 2025. This role requires a strong combination of traditional SQL Server administration, production support, database security, vulnerability remediation, and upgrade/migration experience.

The ideal candidate is a senior-level DBA who is comfortable working in enterprise production environments, collaborating with infrastructure and security teams, and driving remediation activities from identification through validation and closure.

Key Responsibilities

Administer and support Microsoft SQL Server environments in enterprise and highly available production environments.
Lead SQL Server vulnerability assessment, remediation, and security-hardening activities.
Review vulnerability findings and prioritize remediation efforts based on risk, CVE severity, operational impact, and established remediation SLAs.
Apply SQL Server patches, cumulative updates, security updates, and configuration changes.
Identify and remediate insecure SQL Server configurations and unsupported components.
Review and remediate excessive database and server-level permissions.
Evaluate privileged accounts, service accounts, authentication methods, and access controls.
Implement and maintain database encryption, auditing, logging, and security controls.
Perform access reviews and support privileged access remediation initiatives.
Plan, test, and execute SQL Server upgrades and migrations, including the transition from SQL Server 2016 to SQL Server 2025.
Develop upgrade plans, rollback procedures, testing strategies, and implementation documentation.
Validate application compatibility, database performance, integrations, and availability before and after upgrades.
Troubleshoot database performance, availability, connectivity, and security-related issues.
Partner with cybersecurity, infrastructure, application, and operations teams to resolve database vulnerabilities.
Participate in formal change management and incident response processes.
Document remediation actions, security configurations, upgrade procedures, risks, and validation results.
Ensure SQL Server environments remain stable, secure, performant, and compliant with organizational standards.

Required Qualifications

7+ years of Microsoft SQL Server DBA experience supporting enterprise or highly available production environments.
3+ years of hands-on SQL Server security and vulnerability remediation experience.
Demonstrated experience with:
Vulnerability scanning and remediation
SQL Server patching and security updates
Configuration hardening
Access and permissions reviews
Privileged access remediation
Service account security
SQL authentication and Windows authentication
Database encryption
SQL Server auditing
Security validation and remediation verification
2+ years of experience planning, testing, and executing SQL Server upgrades or migrations in production environments.
Experience remediating database security findings involving excessive permissions, insecure configurations, unsupported components, authentication, encryption, and auditing.
Working knowledge of CVE prioritization, vulnerability management, remediation SLAs, and security documentation.
Strong understanding of database backup, recovery, availability, performance, and production support practices.
Experience working within structured change management and incident management processes.
Strong troubleshooting, documentation, and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience working with one or more recognized security or compliance frameworks, including:

CIS Benchmarks
NIST
PCI DSS
HIPAA
SOX
ISO 27001

Additional experience with enterprise security teams, vulnerability management platforms, highly available SQL Server environments, or large-scale SQL Server modernization initiatives is highly desirable.

Pay: $55.00 - $60.00 per hour

Expected hours: 40.0 per week

Benefits:

401(k)
401(k) matching
