We are looking for an experienced Database Administrator / Engineer to help us support and evolve our current data landscape — while actively preparing for the future. Our existing stack is centered around Microsoft SQL Server, with dozens of active databases powering critical systems. We also use PostgreSQL, and MongoDB/MySQL are emerging on the horizon.

This role is essential as we move toward a modern architecture based on microservices, object storage (S3), lakehouse platforms, and AI/ML-enabled analytics. While deep cloud experience is welcome, our current focus is on solid engineering, automation, performance, replication, and resilience.

Key Responsibilities

Administer and optimize a large fleet of MS SQL Server instances, ensuring performance, availability, and security.
Implement and manage replication, mirroring, and backup strategies.
Collaborate with development, analytics, and infrastructure teams to deliver scalable data solutions.
Support and tune PostgreSQL databases, with future involvement in MongoDB/MySQL deployments.
Participate in architecture design for data services in a microservice environment.
Help guide the company’s transition to cloud-native data architectures, including Data Lake / Lakehouse.
Contribute to automation efforts (scripts, pipelines, provisioning, etc.).
Monitor and troubleshoot production issues and perform root cause analysis (storage monitoring, network monitoring, sql profling etc.)
Maintain and evolve database documentation, standards, and specifications with Confluence, draw.io, MD, etc.
Required Skills & Experience

5+ years of hands-on experience with database administration and engineering.
Expert-level knowledge of MS SQL Server (2016 and later), including indexing, query tuning, procedures, replication/mirroring, AlwaysOn.
Solid experience with PostgreSQL at the administration and development level.
Strong understanding of database architecture, performance, and scalability best practices.
Familiarity with cloud-native storage concepts (S3, object storage), and data lakes.
Experience with ETL/ELT processes and data migrations.
Working knowledge of CI/CD, Git-based workflows, and scripting.
Effective collaboration and communication abilities.
Clean and structured technical documentation habits.
Language skills: Fluency in Azerbaijani, English (B2), Russian (B1).
Preferred / Nice to Have

Familiarity with MySQL.
Exposure to MongoDB, or other NoSQL/NewSQL platforms/technologies.
Experience with Azure SQL or cloud-based DB environments.
Experience with AWS RDS, Aurora, DMS, or equivalent Azure services.
Familiarity with BI tools — we’re currently migrating from QlikView to Qlik Sense, with Power BI (and possibly Tableau) on the roadmap.
Experience supporting data needs in insurance, finance, or other regulated domains.
Participation in cloud/data modernization projects (e.g. building lakehouses, integrating with AI/ML pipelines).
Why Join Us?

We’re a leading insurance company undergoing a full-scale digital transformation. Our systems are rapidly evolving — from legacy to microservices, from rigid DBs to flexible, cloud-ready architectures. You’ll be at the heart of that shift. You’ll get to shape things, not just maintain them. You’ll join a small, agile team that values clean code, practical solutions, and meaningful impact.
If this sounds like your kind of challenge — let’s talk.
