Position Summary
Dhaka Technologies Limited Company is hiring on behalf of our client, i8is, in support of their end client, Bank of America, for a Senior Database Security Engineer. This position is open to US Citizens and Green Card holders only; no visa sponsorship is available.
Overview
This is a Guardium-specific engineering role within the client's Database Security Engineering org, sitting on the Database Activity Monitoring workstream. This role is explicitly about the Guardium product itself: provisioning it, patching it, running version upgrades, and building reporting on top of it. It is not a general entitlement/IAM role and not a general "database activity monitoring automation" role, it's hands-on Guardium ownership.
Required Qualifications
- Hands-on Python, Unix/KSH shell scripting, PowerShell
- Hands-on Oracle, MSSQL, or other RDBMS
- Hands-on experience with product certifications
- Hands-on process automation
- Jira and Horizon
Desired Qualifications
- CockroachDB, Cassandra, Postgres
- Cloud database experience (AWS or Azure)
- GitHub Copilot
- Prompt engineering
Team Context
- The Database Security org splits into two functional areas: IAM/entitlements and activity monitoring. This req sits within activity monitoring, specifically the Guardium tooling piece of it.
- Pure engineering team, not operations. No on-call, not staffed 24/7. Builds and certifies solutions, hands off to ops with runbooks once adopted.
- Environment is primarily on-prem SQL Server today. Cloud (AWS RDS, Azure) is newer and still being scoped, not a deep production requirement yet, treat as a plus, not a bar.
- Heavy Jira usage, PI-planning driven.
- The team wants hands-on engineers who build things themselves, not architects or people who talk strategy.
- Python is a hard requirement.
Compensation and Work Authorization
Pay Range: $85-$90/h; the rate may be negotiable based on experience, education, geographic location, and other factors. US Citizens and Green Card holders only; no visa sponsorship is available.
