Database Administrator - York, England/Hybrid I'm working with a York based B2B SaaS provider with an industry-leading product used by clients nationwide. The product is multi-featured and designed to retain sensitive data, automate processes and they're also currently developing a BI feature and a payment feature to become more of an all-rounder product. Who are they looking for? They are looking for a Database Administrator with a knack for optimising performance and ensuring seamless data management. You would be joining their dynamic operations and production team and they are looking for someone who doesn't mind working independently and would like autonomy over their project work. Your main responsibilities will be finding more innovative ways to manage data and leading by best practise, so someone who can work independently would be best suited for this role. What will I be doing? Day to day activity will include database management of their on Prem Legacy databases which are still in the process of being migrated to the cloud. One of your key focuses will be supporting the migration process, working with the Development team to maintain optimal performance. You will need to analyse their existing data storage options and using this knowledge, it will be your job to propose enhancements and then collaborate with other teams to implement them. You will get a lot of autonomy over the future of data storage once this migration project has taken place and there is scope for you to be working with cloud platforms. Who am I? To be considered as an ideal candidate for this role, the main thing they are looking for is experience with SQL, preferably T-SQL. It would be great if you had experience working in an environment with critically sensitive data and could provide examples of this as well, but you won't be ruled out if you don't have this experience. Some other desirable experience but not essential : It would be beneficial if you had experience working with SQL Sentry so you can optimize the database environment. It would also be great if you had experience working with open-source object-relational mapping frameworks. What's in it for you? Salary-wise, we are looking at a maximum of £65,000 plus benefits. At the very top end of this, you would need to have some commercial experience working with T-SQL, MongoDB and Entity framework. You would be expected in the office once a week and for any business-critical circumstances, so ideally you need to be based in a commutable distance to York. There is room to progress here in future as the company looks to continue to grow the team, and it's a great learning environment to be in. They also have truly flexible working hours, and you will get a lot of independence and autonomy over what you are working on. If this sounds like your next role, contact Katie Ferguson at Cathcart Technology
