Job Description

Do you just love tweaking that one annoying query to perform just a little bit better? Are you the go-to guy for the best way to structure a SQL statement? Yes? You - should definitely read on!

The role you’ll play

In the role of Lead Data Engineer, you will guide our development teams to transition their on-premise SQL Server databases to Azure SQL. You will define the best transition strategy and make sure we run reliable, observable and scalable database operations for our platform in Azure. You will continue to expand and optimize our database landscape in Azure to make sure we can handle the growing load on the platform gracefully.

We take data security very seriously and look forward to your guidance in this area as well.

The team you’ll be a part of

You will be reporting directly to our VP of Engineering as a member of our Technical Enablement Tribe. Here you will work with all our Engineering Tribes, which currently counts 6 tribes, and guide them each in their work with databases and performance optimization. The technical enablement tribe also includes several technical experts from the engineering team as well as a Lead SRE and a lead QA engineer.

If you want to make a difference, make it with us by…

  • Work closely with multiple development teams to understand their database workloads
  • Select the best managed database services to operate highly available, high-performance database instances of approx. 500GB size
  • Create reliable backup and restore policies
  • Document and build maintenance plans
  • Define, document and test the best transition strategy to move our database workloads from an on-premise SQL Server 2019 / 2016 landscape to Azure managed database services
  • Work with our SRE engineers, so we can deploy our database landscape in Azure using fully automated pipelines with an IaaS mindset
  • Set up a state-of-the-art monitoring system that exposes all important runtime parameters to create maximum observability of our database operations
  • Analyze database performance and workload trends
  • Advice our development teams on database architecture and query design
  • Secure our data using modern encryption techniques at transport and at rest
  • Report to the VP of Engineering
  • Work closely with our Chief Product & Technology Officer

In one year, you’ll know you were successful if…

  • Successfully migrated all on-premise SQL Servers to Azure managed database services
  • Successfully improved our Platform uptime and ensured it can support the increased workload we are seeing

  • 7+ years of experience with database management, preferably with MS SQL Server 2016 / 2019 and Azure SQL managed database services
  • Deep experience with the SQL language & SQL programming
  • Advanced expertise analyzing and optimizing queries by digging into query execution plans and using MS SQL tools like the Query Store
