What you’ll do 

• Manage and maintain SQL and Oracle database environments 

• Perform database patching, upgrades and ongoing optimisation  

• Diagnose and resolve performance and availability issues (e.g. slow performance, capacity constraints, infrastructure impacts)  

• Support incident response, fault diagnosis and service restoration activities  

• Collaborate with infrastructure teams to resolve cross-platform issues 

About you

• Strong technical expertise across SQL and Oracle databases 

• Experience performing database patching, upgrades and troubleshooting
