We use proven technology, specialist teams and domain expertise to build solid technical foundations across platforms, data, and business applications. We have a passion for using technology to solve business problems, working in partnership with our clients to help in achieving their goals.
About the Role:
As a SQL Server Database Administrator, you’ll be at the heart of keeping our clients’ most critical systems running — fast, secure, and resilient. This isn’t just about maintaining databases; it’s about shaping how they perform today and scale for the future.
You’ll take ownership of performance tuning, production support, and database management across both production and non-production environments. From optimising queries and managing high availability to tightening security and driving automation, your expertise will make a tangible difference every day.
Beyond the technical delivery, you’ll also play a part in process improvement, knowledge sharing, and helping raise best practice standards within the DBA team — ensuring Sword continues to deliver database services our clients can rely on with confidence.
As the SQL Server Database Administrator, you will:
- Configure, maintain, and optimise a range of SQL Server environments to ensure performance, availability, and security.
- Monitor database health across production and non-production systems, proactively resolving performance bottlenecks and issues.
- Install, upgrade, and manage SQL Server database applications.
- Perform in-depth performance tuning, including query optimisation, index management, and resource analysis.
- Develop and implement robust database security processes, including access control and credential management.
- Configure, monitor, and troubleshoot replication, log shipping, clustering, mirroring, and Always On Availability Groups.
- Refine and automate regular maintenance tasks such as backups, index rebuilds, and statistics updates.
- Deliver scheduled maintenance and release deployments, including occasional after-hours work.
- Review database architectures and provide guidance on SQL Server best practice.
- Maintain hands-on use of SQL Server monitoring tools and techniques.
- Research emerging database technologies and share insights through documentation, mentoring, and knowledge transfer.
- Track and document issues, changes, and resolutions to maintain clear, auditable records.
- Support database migrations, including on-prem to cloud transitions (Azure/AWS)
Requirements
- Proven experience as a SQL Server DBA, supporting both production and non-production environments.
- Expert knowledge of SQL Server administration, performance tuning, and troubleshooting.
- Strong skills in backup, restore, recovery models, and database security.
- Hands-on experience with high availability and disaster recovery configurations.
- Proficiency in T-SQL, with PowerShell scripting desirable.
- Knowledge of hardware and server configuration for database environments.
- Experience with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS – IaaS, PaaS, Managed Instances).
- Broader database experience (PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL) is an advantage.
- A proactive, collaborative approach and the ability to solve complex problems under pressure.
