As a MSSQL Database Administrator at Paymentology, you’ll play a crucial role in ensuring the integrity and performance of our mission-critical databases. Your duties will include monitoring database performance, troubleshooting issues, implementing security measures, and planning for database growth and scalability.

What you get to do:

Partner with our development team to design and optimize database schemas, as well as configure SQL Server databases
Handle all database administration tasks and enhance database performance
Ensure the integrity and availability of our critical data through end-to-end backup, recovery, replication, and disaster recovery strategies
Safeguard our sensitive data by managing security, user access, encryption, and optimizing our database security protocols
Proactively monitor database performance and troubleshoot issues using advanced monitoring tools and processes

5-7 years of hands-on experience working as a SQL Server database administrator

Knowledge of tools like GitHub and Terraform
Proven experience architecting, planning, and implementing database migrations, especially to cloud platforms like AWS or Azure
Familiarity with Redis and PostgreSQL is preferred

Let’s also not forget languages (not the programming kind); While you will work with colleagues located throughout the world, English is our company language so it’s important that you be able to communicate at a fluent level, in both spoken and written form.
As a key member of our technical team, you will be expected to maintain high availability and be ready to address critical incidents, ensuring the continuous performance of our systems. This includes being part of an on-call schedule to support 24/7 operations.

What you can look forward to:

At Paymentology we value making a difference to the lives of the people who work for us and who live in the communities where we operate. You can look forward to working with a diverse, global team where Paymentologists at all levels play an important part in our global mission to advance the world through payments and make a difference on a global scale.
