WLG; Eigenbrakel; Sur place; EUR 70 000 - 100 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

WLG in Belgium is seeking a database engineer to keep SQL Server based systems available, fast and recoverable as we move towards the cloud. The role focuses on automating tasks, testing high availability and disaster recovery, and documenting runbooks before incidents arise.

The candidate will install, patch, monitor and tune on‑premises and Azure cloud databases, design DR strategies, build pipelines, and collaborate with app, infra and cloud teams to ensure reliability at scale.

Qualifications

• Expert-level SQL Server administration, tuning and troubleshooting.
• Real experience of availability groups, failover clustering, replication and recovery.
• Cloud database work, preferably on Azure — managed instance, database services, virtual machines.
• Working knowledge of PostgreSQL and MySQL or MariaDB, and ideally MongoDB.
• Automation in PowerShell, T-SQL or Python, and comfort with infrastructure as code and deployment pipelines.
• Sound fundamentals: relational design, indexing, query optimisation and capacity planning.

Responsabilités

• Install, configure, upgrade, patch and back up database systems on premises and in the cloud.
• Design and support high availability and disaster recovery — availability groups, failover clustering, replication and a backup strategy that has actually been restored.
• Monitor performance, availability and capacity, and deal with problems before they become incidents.
• Build automation — scripts, workflows and pipelines — for administration, monitoring and operational reporting.
• Support migration and modernisation towards cloud database services.
• Work with the application, infrastructure and cloud teams on performance, reliability and scale.
• Keep access control, encryption, auditing and vulnerability management in good order, and the documentation with it.
