Senior Database Administrator - Banking Technology - Linz / Hybrid

(Key skills: Oracle, SQL Server, Database Administration, Performance Tuning, Backup & Recovery, High Availability, Disaster Recovery, Cloud Migrations, PL/SQL/T-SQL, Monitoring & Troubleshooting, Data Security, Financial Services)

Overview

Are you a seasoned database expert with a passion for ensuring mission‑critical systems run at peak performance? Do you want to apply your technical leadership to support robust, secure and highly scalable platforms within a fast‑paced banking environment? If so, this is your chance to take on a senior database role at the heart of a financial services technology team.

Role Responsibilities

Our client, a respected banking and financial services institution, is looking for a Senior Database Administrator to maintain, optimise and evolve its enterprise database estate. You will play a critical role in ensuring the performance, reliability and security of the data platforms that underpin key banking applications — from customer portals and risk systems to payments and analytics engines.

As Senior Database Administrator, you will take ownership of database architecture, installation, configuration, patching and upgrades across production and non‑production environments. You’ll proactively monitor and tune database performance, implement and refine backup and recovery strategies, and support high‑availability and disaster recovery solutions that meet the stringent requirements of the financial sector. You’ll work with both Oracle and SQL Server platforms, bringing deep expertise in SQL, PL/SQL/T‑SQL, and database internals.

You’ll collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams — including development, infrastructure, security and operations — to ensure changes are deployed smoothly, performance is optimised and risks are mitigated. Your responsibilities will include troubleshooting complex issues, conducting root‑cause analysis, maintaining documentation, and shaping standards and best practices for database governance, compliance and security.

Qualifications & Experience

The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in large‑scale production environments, ideally supporting banking, finance, or other highly regulated sectors. You’ll be comfortable managing high‑transaction workloads with a focus on uptime, predictable performance and data integrity. Experience with cloud migrations or hybrid cloud databases (e.g., AWS RDS, Azure SQL, Oracle Cloud) is highly desirable.

Benefits

This is an outstanding opportunity to join a forward‑thinking team where your expertise will directly impact business continuity, platform resilience and customer satisfaction. You’ll be part of an organisation that values technical excellence, continuous improvement and collaborative problem solving — all within the rewarding context of financial services.
