Title: Database Administrator - Adabas

Location: Remote

Duration: Contract

About the Role

  • We're seeking a System Administrator to own and optimize our Software AG ecosystem—primarily Adabas and Natural Security—with a focus on reliability, security, performance, and user enablement. In this role, you'll administer mission‑critical databases, drive secure access and auditing practices, support data extraction, and guide changes from development through production.

What You'll Do

  • Administer Adabas & Natural Security (plus CONNX):
    Maintain production, test, and development environments to run efficiently; perform and monitor nightly backups; refresh lower environments from production data as needed; manage DDMs and operational scripts.
  • Harden security & enforce access controls:
    Configure and maintain security/authorization to files and applications via Natural and program security; ensure proper access changes for transfers/terminations; execute routine audits and process security requests accurately and on time.
  • Enable data access & analytics:
    Evaluate and recommend tools for Adabas data extraction; install and maintain the chosen query product (e.g., CONNX); design and maintain user data catalogs; author a user guide and training materials tailored to our environment; train new users and assist current users with query design.
  • Guide change across environments:
    Guide file and schema modifications through development, testing, and production; write and maintain scripts supporting applications and operations; maintain the data dictionary and ensure all database changes are fully documented and consistent.
  • Advance our platform:
    Research, recommend, and help implement new hardware and software solutions to improve performance, resilience, and maintainability. Perform platform upgrades as needed to maintain supported versions and to address system vulnerabilities.
  • Support resilience:
    Participate in agency business continuity and disaster recovery planning, testing, and response activities.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Hands‑on experience administering Adabas databases and Natural
    Security (Software AG stack) in production environments.
  • Working knowledge of CONNX or comparable Adabas data access tools, including installation, configuration, and user enablement.
  • Proficiency with environment refreshes, backup/restore procedures, performance tuning, and scripting (e.g., Natural utilities).
  • Practical experience implementing role‑based access control, security reviews, and audit documentation for regulated environments.
  • Familiarity with SDLC/change control across dev/test/prod and maintaining a formal data dictionary.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to write user guides and support analysts and business users.
  • Minimum of eight years managing Software AG Adabas and Natural.
  • Experience with broader Software AG tools (e.g., NaturalONE, Predict, EntireX) and DDM management best practices.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Exposure to capacity planning, platform modernization, and performance engineering.
  • Participation in BC/DR program development and exercises.
