Spinwell is recruiting for a Database Infrastructure Engineer- DAAS for an excellent opportunity within the public sector.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE Database Infrastructure Engineer- DAAS

A Database Infrastructure Engineer with solid commercial database management and development experience is required to join the Database Development (DD) team and accelerate Registers of Scotland's move from legacy on-prem databases to new AWS cloud-native solutions but also maintain and support the existing on-prem DB estate that runs on RHEL.

We deploy and manage all our databases using infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tools.

For on-prem environments, we utilise Ansible, and for AWS, we rely on the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) with TypeScript.

Proficiency in both Ansible and cloud deployment tools such as AWS CDK will be crucial for success in this role.

We operate multiple database technologies – MongoDB, Postgres, Aurora Postgres RDS, Oracle, and Informix – and are looking for candidates who can work across all these applications.

Our team provides DBAAS (Database as a Service) to multiple development teams.

A primary responsibility of the team is developing shared CDK constructs (Typescript) that are utilized by various development teams across the organization for new and migrated databases.

Therefore, experience with the AWS Developer toolset (CodePipeline, CodeBuild, CodeCommit, and CloudFormation) is important. These constructs will embody practical standards for database architecture and quality, allowing centralized assurance.

In addition to the listed database technologies – we are currently involved in rolling out a new centralised backup solution using the CommVault application and for monitoring we utilise the TIG stack (Telegraf, InfluxDB & Grafana).

The team Grafana instance is deployed using RedHat OpenShift – so experience with containers would be beneficial.
SKILLS/EXPERIENCE REQUIRED OF THE Database Infrastructure Engineer- DAAS

Significant commercial experience with the following technology:

  • Ansible
  • CDK and AWS Development Tools including CloudFormation
  • OpenSearch / ElasticSearch
  • AWS IAM, S3, EC2, RDS
  • MongoDB
  • Postgres
  • SQL
  • Monitoring solutions (e.g., CloudWatch, Grafana)

Significant and demonstrable experience in the following areas:

  • Making excellent quality software with other people.
  • Working with business stakeholders, to understand the context and to focus on
delivering value.

  • Design and implementation of solutions using a service-based and serverless
architecture.

  • Excellent collaboration, communication, and teamwork skills
  • Experience working in the Agile delivery models - such as Scrum and/or Kanban
frameworks.

  • Cloud database monitoring, telemetry, intelligence tools and processes
  • Defining infrastructure-as-code
