Job Seekers, Please send resumes to resumes@hireitpeople.com The Senior Database Architect is responsible for designing, developing, and implementing infrastructure to provide highly-complex, and scalable databases. These are replacement positions. Possible extension subject to Budget and Administrative approval.

BWC is implementing a new Claims, Policy and Billing system.  This new implementation is shifting our Data warehouse and Reporting infrastructure from DB2/Hyperion to Oracle/Cognos.  The nature of our data is also changing, as data elements are changing purpose and semantics as part of the transition.

BWC’s new system will have a transaction data store (TDS), operational data store (ODS) and a newly designed Oracle Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW).  With the move to an EDW, BWC will also be shifting from a relational based data warehouse towards dimensional/star-schema models.  This position will be required to aid BWC in this shift.  Additionally, this position will be responsible for taking requirements and designing, creating, tuning and supporting Oracle Data Warehouse databases.
