Hire a database administrator without paying $120K+ a year. Get pre-vetted, AI-fluent database administrators starting at $4.5K per month. We handle sourcing, vetting, payroll, and compliance so you can fix the slow queries dragging your app down, know your backups actually restore, and stop gambling with your most important data.
Most companies run production databases without anyone truly responsible for them. Developers add indexes when things get slow, backups run on default settings nobody has reviewed, and the database grows until one bad migration locks a table during peak hours. A local DBA search takes months for a role that is hard to evaluate without deep expertise. Our model closes that gap, we have already done the deep technical vetting for you.
Every candidate goes through structured skills-based testing, real-world scenario evaluation including diagnosing a degraded database under load, and a hands-on AI fluency assessment. When you hire a database administrator through us, they are inside your monitoring and query plans within 30 days, and we handle the employment contract, payroll, and compliance without adding work for your team.
A database administrator keeps your databases fast, consistent, and recoverable, the layer everything else in your product depends on. A dedicated one means performance problems get solved at the root instead of patched with bigger servers.
The trigger is usually a page that takes eight seconds to load, or a migration that froze production while customers watched spinners.
Your app keeps getting slower and the team's answer is upgrading to a bigger database instance again
A deploy with a schema change recently locked production, and everyone is now afraid of migrations
Backups run automatically but nobody has ever performed a full restore to verify they work
Database costs are climbing every month and no one can explain exactly why
We only work with the top 5% of candidates when companies hire database administrator through us. Every candidate is skills-tested on the exact work this role does, assessed for AI fluency on real tasks, and scored with our proprietary Remote Readiness Score — built from 1,000+ successful remote hires — before they reach your team.

Talent is embedded into your team and works like any other team member.
Hiring a database administrator locally typically costs $10,000 to $13,000 per month once you factor in salary, benefits, and overhead. With our model, you can reduce that cost by up to 70% while still getting a full-time database administrator working directly inside your database clusters, monitoring stack, and migration workflow.
We employ your DBA, cover contracts, payroll, benefits, and HR admin, and stay engaged after placement. When you hire a database administrator this way, the reliability compounds, tuned queries, documented recovery procedures, and a data layer that scales ahead of your growth instead of behind it.
Deep expertise on your most critical system, verified recovery when it matters, and a cost far below a local specialist. Hire a database administrator before the next slow quarter of queries.
