SENIOR DATABASE ADMINISTRATOR

Svitla Systems Inc. is looking for a Senior Database Administrator for a full-time position (40 hours per week) in India. Our client provides fully integrated software systems to manage all facets of accounting and transaction management for upstream, midstream, and transportation verticals of the oil & gas industry. Whether it is an analysis of existing reports to consolidate/eliminate, migrating historical data, or prototyping allocations, the client has the experience to optimize the experience with the software suite. Relied on by more than 100 oil & gas companies, the company accelerates business performance, boosts operational efficiency, and drives down costs with an ERP solution built for the cloud. Unlike other ERP software that loosely ties together a mix of legacy solutions and fragmented technologies, the client designed a unified upstream and midstream ERP platform to eliminate data silos and the burden and costs of maintaining multiple systems. With cloud-based and on-premises options, their fully integrated suite provides the best end-to-end solution. Faster setup, performance, reporting, and simple upgrades leave more time to analyze your data and run the business.
