Job Description

Overview At Holley, data is more than infrastructure, it’s the engine that drives everything from production to performance. We’re looking for a Senior SQL DBA with 7+ years of experience who knows how to tune, secure, and scale SQL Server environments that run real business.This isn’t just about uptime, it’s about impact. Our SQL Server instances run core business processes via complex scripts , stored procedures, and jobs. We need someone who lives in T-SQL , thrives under pressure, and can refactor and optimize code that others are scared to touch.If you’re confident in your ability to own performance, handle fire drills, and design scalable database solutions and sustainable strategies , this role is built for you. Key Responsibilities SQL Scripting & Optimization

  • Own and optimize the business-critical SQL scripts that power our core processes.
  • Refactor complex stored procedures, improve indexing strategies, and reduce query latency across environments.
  • Review execution plans and optimize database performance like a pro.

Platform Stability & Performance

  • Monitor and tune performance across development, test, and production environments.
  • Design and maintain high availability and disaster recovery (HA / DR) strategies (Always On, Log Shipping, Replication, etc.).
  • Execute schema changes, upgrades, and migrations with minimal risk and downtime.
  • Security & Governance

  • Implement data security protocols including role-based access, auditing, and encryption.
  • Stay ahead of vulnerabilities, patches, and audit requirements.
  • Collaborate with InfoSec and Compliance teams to meet organizational and regulatory standards.
  • Cross-Team Collaboration

  • Work with developers, analysts, and product teams to support SQL needs across applications and integrations.
  • Provide expert support during deployments, cutovers, and production releases.
  • Share knowledge and mentor others in SQL best practices and performance tuning.
  • Documentation & Standards

  • Maintain clear, comprehensive documentation for jobs, procedures, indexes, and backup strategies.
  • Help enforce database development standards and governance policies.
  • What You Bring

  • 7+ years of hands-on SQL Server DBA experience in complex, high-volume environments.
  • Deep expertise in T-SQL scripting and query optimization—you know the difference between a quick fix and a scalable solution.
  • Proven success managing SQL Server 2016+ environments.
  • Strong grasp of HA / DR technologies including Always On, Clustering, and Replication.
  • Experience with PowerShell for scripting and automation.
  • Working knowledge of security hardening, auditing, and compliance requirements.
  • Outstanding troubleshooting skills—you're the calm in the SQL storm.
  • Strong communicator who can work with both business and technical teams.
  • Preferred Extras

  • Experience with cloud-based SQL (Azure SQL, AWS RDS).
  • Familiarity with SSIS, SSRS, or BI / reporting tools like Power BI or Tableau.
  • Prior support of SaaS or third-party apps with SQL backends.
  • Why Holley?

    Because here, the DBA isn’t buried in a back room—you’re at the core of performance, innovation, and stability. You’ll own the heartbeat of the business , with the authority and support to make systems better, faster, and more resilient every day.
