Job Description

Medisca is a global company leveraging strong partnerships to serve healthcare professionals across diverse wellness disciplines. Offering extensive and essential solutions - including pharmaceutical ingredients and service, mixing technology manufacturing, analytical testing, and education – Medisca is bridging the gaps in healthcare with an unwavering commitment to precision, innovation, and societal impact.

The Database Administrator will own the health, accuracy, and performance of databases across a multi-system, multi-location business. The Database Administrator will map how data flows between our CRM, ERP, e-commerce, and other platforms, keeping them accurate and compliant every step of the way, and act as a trusted steward of the company's data.

Salary: $85,698.00

About you: You're obsessed with data accuracy and data health — “close enough” isn't good enough. You're a big-picture thinker who wants to help shape where our data infrastructure goes next, a collaborative team player who connects easily with both technical and business teams, and someone who understands the business, not just the systems behind it.

Responsibilities & Duties:

  • Maintain the performance, accuracy, and availability of our SQL Server databases.
  • Design data architecture and data mapping for system changes, migrations, and integrations (for CRM, ERP, etc.)
  • Build deep knowledge of our data — where it lives, how it's structured, and how it moves across systems and formats (CSV, JSON, XML, EDI, APIs, etc.).
  • Support accurate data sharing between our platforms, tools, and business partners, using various transfer methods.
  • Act as a data steward: define, document, and uphold data quality and ownership standards.
  • Ensure data handling meets privacy and compliance requirements.
  • Write and optimize complex T-SQL (stored procedures, functions, indexing, query plans).
  • Maintain high-availability and disaster recovery strategies, including backups and failovers.
  • Build and monitor data quality checks and pipeline orchestration across systems.
  • Set up monitoring/alerting for database and pipeline performance.
  • Support CDP and identity resolution initiatives.
  • Maintain database security controls (access, encryption, auditing) and basic automation scripting).
  • Document configurations, data flows, mappings, and procedures.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in a related field.
  • 5+ years in a DBA or data architecture/engineering role.
  • Strong SQL Server experience and advanced T-SQL/query optimization skills.
  • Experience with data mapping across system migrations or integrations.
  • Experience with CRM, ERP, and e-commerce data.
  • Understanding of data stewardship, governance, and privacy/compliance basics.
  • Experience with HA/DR and database security fundamentals.
  • Strong communicator, able to bridge technical and business audiences.

Assets:

  • Experience with PostgreSQL, Azure SQL, Snowflake, or Databricks.
  • Pipeline orchestration tools (SSIS, ADF, Airflow, dbt, or similar).
  • Awareness of cross-border privacy rules (e.g., GDPR, Quebec's Law 25).
  • Exposure to CI/CD for database changes (Flyway, Liquibase, Azure DevOps).

What’s in it for you…

We invest time and resources into making sure Medisca is as good as the people we hire.

  • Work/Life Balance - 37.50 hour workweek with early Fridays all year long, PTO and vacation policy
  • Invest in your health – Choice of modular plans, health spending account and free Telemedicine
  • Flexible work environment – Hybrid work schedule with home office reimbursement program
