Role Responsibilities

Be the backbone of systems that people rely on every day !

As a Database Administrator (DBA), you’ll be trusted with keeping mission-critical database platforms secure, resilient, and performing at their best across both cloud and on-premises environments. Working hands-on with SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and Azure-hosted database services, you’ll support the full database lifecycle and play a direct role in enabling reliable, compliant, and high-impact digital services.

You’ll work alongside skilled technical teams, influence platform standards, and contribute to cloud modernization and continuous improvement initiatives. Operating within mature IT Service Management (ITSM) practices, this role offers the opportunity to solve complex problems, strengthen enterprise platforms, and make a meaningful impact through the services you support.

Responsibilities :

Some of the responsibilities of this position include but are not limited to :

  • Install, configure, operate, and maintain SQL Server and PostgreSQL platforms across on-premises and Azure (PaaS and IaaS) environments.
  • Monitor database health and performance, performing proactive tuning, optimization, and issue prevention.
  • Implement and manage database security controls, including access management, encryption, auditing, and compliance with organizational and government standards
  • Plan, test, and support backup, restore, high availability, and disaster recovery (HA / DR) solutions aligned with defined RPO / RTO targets.
  • Support database lifecycle activities such as patching, upgrades, migrations, and decommissioning.
  • Collaborate with application and service teams to support database design, integration, and operational best practices.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve database incidents and problems, escalating complex issues as appropriate.
  • Contribute to platform standards, technical documentation, runbooks, and continuous improvement initiatives, including automation and enhanced monitoring.

To be successful in this position, you will demonstrate :

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to assess issues and develop effective solutions.
  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a team-based environment.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Proven ability to communicate complex concepts clearly to audiences with varying levels of technical understanding, from novice to expert.
  • Ability to handle high stress situations.
  • Future-Focused Skills Matter

    As database platforms continue to evolve, knowledge of / or a willingness to learn Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation technologies is increasingly important in this role. The successful candidate will be open to leveraging AI-driven tools and insights to enhance monitoring, optimize performance, improve operational efficiency, and support the modernization of database services in a rapidly changing technology landscape.
