Database Engineer Oracle and SQL Server (m/f/d)
Sofico, Zwijnaarde, East Flanders, Belgium +1
The role
Not every Sofico customer runs on Sofico Cloud. A large part of the database estate is standalone: Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server instances on virtual machines, in Sofico's own datacenter and on IaaS VMs in Azure and OCI, serving hosted customers and customer-specific setups. Sofico's applications are deployed on either engine depending on the customer, so this estate is mixed by design.
This position owns that estate day to day. You build new database servers, keep existing ones patched, backed up and performing, and turn the way that is done into a repeatable, automated standard — so that a new customer database becomes a pipeline run rather than a week of manual work.
As a Database Engineer in our Ghent office, you will join the Platform Infrastructure Team, the group responsible for the foundation on which all Sofico products and services run.
The Platform Infrastructure Team manages the core infrastructure that powers the company, including datacenters, cloud platforms, network security, identity services, and infrastructure-as-code solutions. By ensuring these critical systems remain secure, reliable, and scalable, the team enables engineering teams across Sofico to build, deploy, and operate applications with confidence.
