Projects the candidate will be working on:

• This is a senior level SQL DBA position, that supports our business critical applications – Facets, APM, Touchworks, Macess, etc.
• As support is required to be available 24x7, the math doesn't work for just 4 resources, but they are doing the best they can even with some signs of complaint and burnout due to the workload.
