Summary Generated by Built In

We fuse together exceptional talent who deliver outstanding software solutions. Our approach has helped us grow 60% in 2021, 94% in 2022, while in 2023 we joined forces with Insight, a Fortune 500 company and a leading solutions and systems integrator. With exciting growth plans and cutting-edge projects, there has never been a better time to join our incredible team. 

Role Overview

We are looking for experienced DBA support following the departure of their internal DBA. The role provides hands-on administration for a mixed estate of legacy and modern databases spanning Oracle and SQL Server, running across a hybrid environment - cloud (primarily Azure) and on-premise. The estate grew through acquisitions, so it is fragmented, has little existing documentation, and currently lacks modern tooling and monitoring. The right person can investigate an unfamiliar environment and get to grips with it quickly.

Key Skills & Requirements
  • Oracle database administration (essential)
  • SQL Server database administration (essential)
  • Azure cloud database experience, alongside on-premise - comfortable working across both
  • Performance tuning & troubleshooting - diagnosing slow queries and debugging issues across multiple platforms
  • Monitoring & health checks - able to establish good practice where modern tooling is currently absent
  • Legacy system adaptability - supporting older business applications (AX 2009, Bifold, GUP, Dynamics 365, MTMS, and others); ability to investigate and reverse-engineer an undocumented estate
  • Incident response - calm and effective under pressure, with rapid response during major/high-severity incidents that can occur at any time
Key Responsibilities
  • Onboarding / discovery (approx. first 5 days) - investigate the current state of the systems and databases to understand what is there; begin building a knowledge base.
  • Routine BAU - regular health checks and proactive monitoring.
  • Reactive troubleshooting - resolving performance issues and debugging problems across the different database platforms.
  • Major incident support - handling high-severity incidents, potentially out-of-hours via on-call / standby arrangements.
  • Knowledge capture - documenting the environment to ensure continuity and reduce reliance on any single individual (pod model).
Benefits
  • You will work with amazing teammates from across Europe.
  • Take a leading role in our newly-established Bulgarian center, contributing to the foundation of our future.
  • Our Sofia office is right in the center, ensuring that everything you need is close by.
  • Monthly transport allowance and enjoy the convenience of a dedicated parking area at the office.
  • Enjoy 25 days of paid leave, we make sure you have plenty of time to relax and recharge.
  • We've got you covered with additional premium health insurance and dental care, to keep you and your family protected.
  • We offer food vouchers and to add a little extra you can enjoy complimentary meals in the office.
  • Fully covered Multisport card that gives you access to a variety of fitness options to keep you active and feeling great.
  • We support your growth with certifications and courses that help you advance your career.
  • Join us for Social Events, Informal Office Gatherings and Team-building activities with your colleagues, where we celebrate our achievements together.
  • We'll work with you on an individual plan to help you reach your career goals.
  • Benefit from our coaching and mentorship programs, technological and professional guilds that offer guidance and support for your career journey.
  • Participate in various social initiatives, contributing to causes that matter to you.
