Senior Database Administrator (Freelancer)

Mactores is the agent-native AWS modernization firm. Most modernization work doesn't ship, it stalls in pilots, slips a year, or lands at three times the budget. We exist to ship it: production systems running, legacy retired, outcomes measured. Our delivery is built on Aedeon, the agent platform built by Mactores' founders' sister company, which absorbs the repetitive 60–70% of engagement work, discovery, dependency mapping, validation, test generation, that traditional consulting bills human hours against. Forward-deployed engineers own the rest: architecture, judgment, and cutover, on dates we commit to in the contract. Oracle-to-PostgreSQL migrations don't fail at conversion. They fail at go-live DMS latency nobody diagnosed, autovacuum behavior nobody tuned, privilege mappings nobody tested, incidents nobody owns at 2 a.m. This role sits inside our Application & Database Modernization pillar and exists to make sure that doesn't happen. As our Senior Database Administrator, you'll run the Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL environments in an active Oracle-to-PostgreSQL migration program from cluster design through DMS replication through post–go-live stabilization. Aedeon handles the repeatable conversion and validation work; you own what agents can't: production judgment. When replication lags, when a workload misbehaves after cutover, when an incident escalates past L2, you're the person who resolves it and can explain why it happened. This is a freelance engagement, remote, working as the L3 escalation point on production systems that real businesses run on.
