- Proven ability in SQL performance troubleshooting and optimization: diagnosing blocking, missing indexes, inefficient queries and other bottlenecks.
- Ability to translate application behaviour into database implications (“if someone explains an app issue, you know what happens in the database”).
- Comfort supporting onboarding of new applications and protecting the environment against regressions.
- Understanding of database DevOps needs around schema changes and database upgrades (discussed as relevant for both DBA aspects).
What will make you successful in this role?
You want to play a part in the future of database automation. This can include CI/CD, configuration management (Terraform, Ansible), tooling, and good old scripting which enables you to automate everything that can be automated. In addition to that:
- You are a T-shaped engineer, meaning you are comfortable operating across platforms and having an in-depth knowledge of databases
- Solid experience working as a SQL DBA
- Experience with managing applications in SQL instances, but also underlaying infrastructure
- Experience with scripting languages (Bash/Python/PowerShell)
How we work
Our environment values engineering ownership. You will work alongside cloud engineers and other specialists, but as the SQL DBA you are expected to be the person who can both design the platform and defend it under real load.

It is our desire to be a company that brings together multiple nationalities, cultures, religions, genders, abilities, and talents within and across our teams. We welcome colleagues from diverse backgrounds to join Schuberg Philis and actively support diversity and inclusion in the tech industry.
