About the role

About LivTech

LivTech is transforming how care is delivered to aging adults. We're a high-growth company in the middle of an exciting transformation process - expanding our products, sharpening our focus, and scaling the teams that make it happen. We build the software and solutions that power home health, hospice, and senior living organizations, helping them deliver better, more connected care to the patients, residents, and families who depend on them - work that matters, for the people who need it most.

We hire people who bring our values to life every day: Assuming Positive Intent, Operating with Intensity & Urgency, Being Transparent, and Using Your Power to Make a Difference. If you want to do meaningful work, move fast, and grow alongside a company that's actively reshaping its industry, you'll feel right at home here.

The Opportunity

LivTech is creating a dedicated Database Administrator role to own the design, security, and performance of the databases behind all 26 products across our three business divisions. Today, no single function owns database health enterprise-wide — you'll close that gap, working across divisional engineering teams to raise the bar on reliability, security, and performance.

What You'll Do

Design, implement, and continuously monitor and optimize databases supporting all products across our three divisions.

Plan and maintain backup, disaster-recovery, and logical storage structures for every production database.

Proactively monitor database health, security, and performance, tuning systems to prevent issues before they affect users.

Establish consistent database standards, configuration practices, and documentation across divisions.

Manage patching, capacity planning, and access controls to reduce the risk of data loss or security incidents.

Partner with divisional engineering teams to reduce time spent troubleshooting database problems, freeing capacity for product development.

What You'll Bring

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.

Four or more years of experience administering production databases, including on-call support responsibilities.

Hands-on experience with one or more major relational database platforms: MySQL, Postgres, or Microsoft SQL Server.

Experience administering multiple relational database platforms and relevant certifications, such as Microsoft Certified: Azure Database Administrator Associate, are a plus.

What We Offer

Alongside competitive pay, we take care of our people with a well-rounded benefits package - think health and wellness coverage, retirement support, paid time off, and more - because feeling supported matters just as much as doing great work.
