This role is critical, involving tuning, data integration, job migration, real-time analytics support, production maintenance, and cybersecurity compliance.

Key Responsibilities:

• Yellowbrick Optimization: Tune and optimize Yellowbrick data warehouse configurations to maximize query performance and system efficiency, achieving performance improvements comparable to 40% query time reduction.
• Data Integration: Design and implement data integration pipelines to ingest data from SAP modules (e.g., PP, QM, PM), sensors, and other sources into Yellowbrick, ensuring seamless ETL processes and 100% data accuracy.
• Real-Time Analytics Support: Maintain and enhance Yellowbrick data models to support real-time dashboards and predictive analytics using BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI), enabling operational insights.
• Job Migration: Migrate jobs from legacy systems (e.g., Oracle) to Yellowbrick, reprogramming workflows to ensure compatibility and performance, with validation against SLAs.
• Production Support: Provide ongoing maintenance, including patching, upgrades, and troubleshooting, to ensure Yellowbrick system availability and compliance with DoD standards (e.g., NIST 800-53, FedRAMP.
• Cybersecurity Compliance: Implement security patches and mitigation strategies to maintain Yellowbrick’s compliance with DoD cybersecurity requirements, supporting role-based access controls (e.g., DUO MFA integration).
• Collaboration: Work with Data Architects, BI Analysts, and Information Security Analysts to integrate Yellowbrick with NDP operations,.
• Knowledge Transfer: Document configurations, processes, and best practices in centralized repositories (e.g., Confluence), providing training to NDP staff.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent experience (4+ years in database administration may substitute for degree).
• Experience:
  • 5+ years of database administration experience, with 2+ years managing modern data warehouses (e.g., Yellowbrick, Snowflake, Redshift, or equivalent).
  • 2+ years integrating data warehouses with enterprise systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, or similar ERP platforms), achieving high data accuracy (e.g., 100% migration success).
  • 1+ year supporting real-time analytics with BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI, SAP BI), developing dashboards for operational insights.
  • 1+ year migrating jobs from legacy databases (e.g., Oracle) to modern data warehouses, ensuring performance and compliance.
  • 1+ year implementing cybersecurity measures (e.g., patching, MFA integration) in compliance with NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, or equivalent standards.
  • Demonstrated success in optimizing data warehouse performance, with measurable outcomes (e.g., 30%+ query time reduction).
  • Experience in a DoD or federal environment preferred, with familiarity with DoD IL-compliant clouds (e.g., AWS GovCloud).
• Technical Skills:
  • Proficiency in Yellowbrick or comparable data warehouse platforms (e.g., Snowflake, Redshift).
  • Expertise in SQL, ETL tools, and data integration pipelines for SAP or similar systems.
  • Familiarity with BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI, SAP BW/4HANA) for analytics support.
  • Knowledge of Oracle databases for job migration tasks.
  • Experience with cybersecurity tools and protocols (e.g., DUO MFA, patch management).
  • Proficiency in documentation tools (e.g., Confluence, Jira) for knowledge transfer.
• Certifications:
  • At least one of: AWS Certified Database – Specialty, Yellowbrick Certified Administrator, SAP Certified Technology Associate, or equivalent data warehouse certification.
  • Preferred: CompTIA Security+, CISSP, or other DoD 8570.01-M IAT Level II certification.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience supporting data warehouse operations in a DoD contract, with exposure to Navy systems or AWS GovCloud.
• Prior work on SAP integration projects, particularly with modules like PP, QM, or PM.
• Background in predictive analytics or machine learning model support.
• ISO 27001 or NIST 800-53 compliance experience in a data warehouse context.
• Demonstrated ability to achieve performance metrics (e.g., 40% query time reduction, 100% SLA compliance) in prior projects.
