Summary

Description:
Hybrid in Richmond, VA

Our client seeks a Database Security Engineer to manage, optimize, and expand the Imperva Database Activity Monitoring platform.

  • Manage daily operations, troubleshooting, configuration, and maintenance of the Imperva DAM environment.
  • Serve as primary technical point of contact for vendor escalations and support tickets.
  • Reconcile database inventories with DAM coverage for MSSQL, DB2, Oracle, and Teradata to ensure no blind spots.
  • Monitor platform telemetry to detect health anomalies, agent outages, or logging drops and restore continuous recording.
  • Review and remediate policy drift to align with enterprise security standards and best practices.
  • Automate health checks, monitoring verification, reporting, and routine operational workflows using scripts or APIs.
  • Ensure uniform policy application across all databases and environments.
  • Leverage and oversee offshore resources to execute approved operational changes.
  • Follow established change management processes and approvals in a highly audited environment.
  • Analyze collected logs to identify anomalies and support incident response.
  • Collaborate with cybersecurity and IAM stakeholders and engage with SME support.
  • Drive toward 100% monitoring coverage and consistent policy governance.

Experience Requirements:
  • Hands-on administration, engineering, and troubleshooting experience with Imperva DAM (SecureSphere).
  • Background as a database administrator or engineer with strong knowledge of database architectures, system catalogs, and auditing.
  • Experience across Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2, Oracle, and Teradata.
  • Scripting capability with Python, PowerShell, Bash, or use of REST APIs for automation.
  • Experience in vendor and incident management for complex platform issues, upgrades, and bug fixes.
  • Familiarity with database auditing principles, baseline governance, policy drift resolution, and anomaly detection.
  • Ability to operate within strict change control and compliance requirements.
