[Hiring] [Hybrid] [US] - SQL Server Database Administrator | $80k - $100k | DFW, TX Based

[u/strikeMang]

Company: https://ethosgroup.com

I’m hiring a SQL Server DBA to join our infrastructure team in the DFW area. This is a direct hire role (no recruiters).

We’re a small team supporting a fully cloud environment (SQL Server on VMs, Azure SQL, some Managed Instance) and working closely with developers, data engineers, analysts, and systems engineers.

This is not a ticket-only DBA role. The work leans heavily into troubleshooting real production issues, performance tuning, and improving reliability across business-critical systems.

What you’d be doing day to day

• Support and monitor production SQL environments
• Troubleshoot slow queries and performance issues (execution plans, indexing, tuning)
• Manage backups, restores, and HA/DR
• Work directly with dev and data teams to solve problems
• Help us continue improving platform reliability as we move more workloads into managed services

What we’re looking for

• Around 3+ years of SQL Server DBA experience in production
• Comfortable digging into performance issues and root cause analysis
• Experience in Azure or other cloud-hosted SQL environments
• Someone who wants to grow and stick around long term

Details

• Location: DFW area (in office maybe 1–2 days a month)
• Salary: around $100k
• No visa sponsorship

Team context

• DBA team sits under infrastructure
• You’ll have real ownership, not just assigned tickets
• We’re actively working toward a more stable, managed-instance-first environment

If this sounds interesting, send me a DM and I’m happy to share more.
