The role:
A Database Engineer with solid commercial database administration and development experience is required to join the Database Development team and accelerate move from Legacy on-prem databases to new AWS cloud-native solutions but also maintain and support the existing on-prem DB estate.

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).
