Job Description

Description

Leidos is seeking a skilled Database Engineer to support the DHS Insider Threat Program (ITP) under the HEITS Contract. This is a dynamic opportunity to apply your expertise in designing, sustaining, and evolving the database infrastructure that powers one of DHS’s most critical missions—identifying and mitigating insider threats through advanced analytics, monitoring, and data correlation.

If you’re looking for comfort, keep scrolling. At Leidos, we outthink, outbuild, and outpace the status quo — because the mission demands it. We’re not hiring followers. We’re recruiting the ones who disrupt, provoke, and refuse to fail. Step 10 is ancient history. We’re already at step 30 — and moving faster than anyone else dares.

Responsibilities

  • Maintain and support the ITP database backend infrastructure
  • Perform routine maintenance: reindexing, backups, transaction log truncation, cluster management
  • Design and implement database encryption solutions (e.g., Transparent Data Encryption - TDE)
  • Document and maintain configuration baselines
  • Develop and execute system recapitalization plans to support capacity growth
  • Serve as the SME for all database infrastructure
  • Create and optimize stored procedures, queries, and views
  • Support data warehouse features and integrations
  • Optimize database schemas for referential integrity, cascading transactions, indexing, and performance

Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree with 12+ years of relevant experience, or Master’s degree with 10+ years
  • Expertise in Oracle database management, upgrades, and maintenance
  • Experience with SQL, PostgreSQL, and other database types
  • Ability to integrate diverse data types into cloud containers (e.g., AWS S3)
  • Strong understanding of DBMS and database design principles
  • Experience with database migrations and data lake/repository connectors
  • Eligibility to obtain DHS EOD SCI clearance

Preferred Qualifications

  • Master’s degree in IT Management, Engineering, or related field
  • 10+ years of experience in IT service delivery management
  • Familiarity with User Activity Monitoring platforms
  • Experience with Everfox High Speed Guard Platform
  • Proficiency with Oracle, Microsoft SQL, PostgreSQL, or other DBMS platforms

Pay Range

Pay Range $126,100.00 - $227,950.00

The Leidos pay range for this job level is a general guideline only and not a guarantee of compensation or salary. Additional factors considered in extending an offer include (but are not limited to) responsibilities of the job, education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity, alignment with market data, applicable bargaining agreement (if any), or other law.

Commitment to Non-Discrimination

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to sex, race, ethnicity, age, national origin, citizenship, religion, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, pregnancy, family structure, marital status, ancestry, domestic partner status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, veteran or military status, or any other basis prohibited by law.
