We're guided by our core values, and we're committed to creating an environment where everyone can do their best work.

Job Overview
We are at a pivotal point in our tech progression. We're looking to grow our technical estate, architect new systems, remove technical debt and scale our platform. It's an exciting time to join Partnerize, and we are looking for a technical leader to help spearhead this evolution.
As a database engineer, you will operate with a high degree of autonomy, acting as the principal technical authority and taking end-to-end ownership of our database estate. You will be a strategic anchor within the Technical Operations team, interfacing directly with business, development, and IT functions. While you will own the database architecture and design solutions for the future, a fundamental, non-negotiable part of this role is hands-on Business As Usual incident management. You must be comfortable rolling up your sleeves to handle daily operations, backups, and performance tuning alongside project delivery.
Your deep expertise in MySQL, alongside strong Linux system administration and a working knowledge of network troubleshooting, will be critical to your success. You will design, build, and secure the underlying servers our databases run on, proactively analyse current implementations, and act as the ultimate technical escalation point for our database infrastructure in both our physical datacenters as well as our public cloud estate.
While we need your advanced technical skills, we are equally focused on character. We are looking for a highly proactive communicator who collaborates seamlessly without needing to be prompted. Crucially, you must be able to independently plan out complex technical work, such as database upgrades, and clearly articulate the step-by-step process and business impacts to stakeholders. You must thrive both when working independently to tackle complex problems and when operating collaboratively within a broader team. Furthermore, you will actively seek out opportunities to coach and mentor other engineers, elevating the overall DBA knowledge across the company. This role is fully remote and open to candidates based anywhere in the UK or the US.
