Job Description

🚀 Lead DBA - £95,000 + Bonus - Manchester (hybrid) 🚀


Are you fed up of just doing maintenance?


Do you want to own and build on top of a brand new platform?


As a Lead DBA, you'll lead the architecture and strategy of a large-scale, high-availability platform for a household name.


This isn't a role where you'll be disappearing into meetings all day either. They're looking for someone who enjoys getting their hands dirty and leading from the front.


Outside the hands-on work, you'll define best practices, influence key decisions and help develop the wider DBA function.


They've just completed a huge migration project, so you'll get to influence how the platform evolves as it continues to scale.


✅ Looking for experience with:

  • Relational & non-relational databases
  • High-availability and disaster recovery
  • Linux administration
  • CI/CD
  • Infrastructure as Code


🤩 What they're offering:

  • £95,000 base salary
  • Bonus up to 10%
  • Hybrid working (mostly remote)
  • Private medical


Even if your CV isn't fully updated, 'Easy Apply' and I'll be in touch.
