Role Overview
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.

- Knowledge capture - documenting the environment to ensure continuity and reduce reliance on any single individual (pod model).
- Preparation of Standard Operating procedures for the day-to-day maintenance of the databases and underlying systems.
- Ensure proper backup and retention polices are in place to ensure minimum data loss to the business in case of failures.
Key Skills & Requirements
- 5+ years working experience in administering, managing and tuning databases
- Oracle database administration (essential)
- SQL Server database administration (essential)
- Experience with T-SQL or PL/SQL programming skills
- Azure cloud database experience, alongside on-premise - comfortable working across both
- Performance tuning & troubleshooting - diagnosing slow queries and debugging issues across multiple platforms
- Network architectures, especially related to Microsoft Azure (e.g. vNets, NSGs, VPN, ExpressRoute, SSL/TLS certificates, DNS)
- Monitoring & health checks - able to establish good practice where modern tooling is currently absent
- Legacy system adaptability - supporting older business applications; 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.
