Job Description

I am recruiting for a SQL DBA/Architect to work on a hybrid basis - 2/3 days in Dunstable, remaining time remote.

The role falls inside IR35 so you will be required to work through an umbrella company for the duration of the contract.

The SQL DBA Architect is responsible for designing, managing, and optimising SQL database environments to ensure performance, availability, scalability, and security across business-critical systems. The role combines database architecture, administration, performance tuning, governance, backup and recovery planning, and support for application and infrastructure teams.

You must have strong experience in SQL database administration and architecture roles.

A deep understanding of database design, performance tuning, backup and recovery, and high-availability solutions.

Experience with database monitoring, troubleshooting, and capacity planning.

Knowledge of security, compliance, and operational controls for database environments.

You will ideally have experience with SQL Server clustering, replication, Always On, or similar high-availability solutions.

Exposure to cloud database platforms and migration projects is also preferred.

Please apply ASAP if your experience matches the above.
