I’m recruiting for a Lead DBA on behalf of a large, tech-driven organisation that’s actively re-architecting and modernising its database estate following a major platform transformation.

What You’ll Be Doing- Leading the re-architecture and modernisation of Linux-based database platforms
- Driving stability, scalability and performance
- Automating database operations (CI/CD, IaC, Ansible, Terraform)
- Partnering with engineers to optimise schemas and queries
- Setting standards and mentoring DBAs
- Strong experience with Linux-based databases
- Broad exposure to Oracle, MySQL, Maria
DB, Mongo
DB (or similar) - A technology-agnostic mindset
- Proven experience transforming and stabilising complex database environments
If you’re a Linux-first Lead DBA who enjoys challenging architecture and driving change, drop me a message or apply to the link!
