THE OPPORTUNITY

One of our Wisconsin’s premier academic health systems, is seeking a Senior Enterprise Database Architect to lead a comprehensive performance optimization and architecture assessment initiative across their database ecosystem. This is a high-impact, hands-on engagement where you’ll work directly with clinical and IT leadership to ensure the data infrastructure powering Epic’s Cogito and Caboodle platforms — as well as the broader Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server estate — is tuned, resilient, and architected for long-term scalability.

If you’re the kind of architect who thrives on untangling complex database environments, diagnosing deep performance bottlenecks, and leaving systems measurably better than you found them — this role was built for you.

• Review database configurations, memory allocation, I/O subsystems, and storage architecture for both platforms
• Develop and implement indexing strategies, query rewrites, partitioning schemes, and maintenance plans

Enterprise Architecture & Governance

• Map the complete database landscape: inventory all Oracle and SQL Server instances, versions, patch levels, and dependencies
• Assess high availability and disaster recovery configurations (Always On AG, Data Guard, RAC) and recommend improvements
• Evaluate security posture including encryption, access controls, auditing, and compliance with HIPAA/HITECH requirements
• Deliver a comprehensive architecture assessment report with prioritized remediation roadmap and executive-level recommendations
• Provide knowledge transfer sessions and runbook documentation for the internal DBA team
