Job Description

SQL Server DBAs - Looking for your next Outside IR35 contract?

\n

I'm currently recruiting for a hands-on Production SQL Server DBA to join one of our long-standing financial services clients in Canary Wharf.

\n

This is an excellent opportunity to join a highly regarded DBA team supporting a large, business-critical Microsoft SQL Server estate during an exciting period of growth and transformation.

\n

This isn't a management role. My client is looking for an experienced DBA who enjoys solving complex production issues and keeping critical SQL Server environments performing at their best.

What they're looking for:\n
    \n
  • Strong Production SQL Server Administration experience
  • \n
  • Performance tuning and troubleshooting expertise
  • \n
  • High Availability & Disaster Recovery experience
  • \n
  • Always On Availability Groups (a real priority for the hiring manager)
  • \n
  • Experience supporting large, business-critical SQL Server estates
  • \n
  • Azure SQL exposure would be beneficial, but it's not essential
  • \n
\n

If you've spent your career supporting live SQL Server environments and can confidently walk into a production estate from day one, I'd love to speak with you.

\n

We've worked with this client for several years and they genuinely have a great reputation. The interview process is straightforward, and they're looking to move quickly.

\n

If you're interested apply now!
