About the role
Ninth Wave, Inc. is seeking an experienced Data Architect / DBA in New York State to reverse engineer complex database environments and modernize them for performance and scalability.
You will analyze undocumented schemas, infer business logic, reconstruct ER models, and design robust architectures. Fluency with Java services and ORM mappings will help you align data with application behavior. This on-site role emphasizes in-depth data optimization and reliability.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
