DBA

Hello, our name is Customertimes, but you can call us CT. We are a global digital engineering, product development, and technology consulting company. Headquartered in New York, we have a team of 1000+ experts working across 65+ countries.

About the project:

You’ll join a team supporting a Java-based product running in the cloud (AWS). The immediate focus is improving the performance and stability of high-load SQL Server databases. That means implementing and monitoring indexes, and proposing changes to processes that currently affect system stability.

Location: Ukraine, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Portugal, Montenegro, and Latin America (e.g., Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico). We are hiring for two positions: one in a European time zone, and one with working-hours overlap with US Eastern Time (EST).

How you’ll make an impact:

• Optimize the performance of high-load transactional systems built on Microsoft SQL Server;
• Analyze execution plans, statistics, locking, and blocking to find the root causes of performance issues;
• Design and implement indexes, and monitor their impact on system performance;
• Manage and change the infrastructure around the databases, including server configuration, scaling, monitoring, and automation;
• Implement solutions that improve system stability and reliability;
• Write, review, and optimize complex T-SQL code (queries, stored procedures, functions);
• Administer and support SQL Server environments in the cloud (AWS preferred; Azure or GCP also considered);
• Support high availability and disaster recovery solutions (e.g., Always On, Multi-AZ, or cloud equivalents);
• Build and support data integrations using ETL/ELT processes and APIs (SSIS is a plus);
• Communicate with the team and stakeholders in English, explain technical findings, and propose optimization solutions.

What makes you a great fit:

• 5+ years of hands-on experience with Microsoft SQL Server as a DBA, Database/DevOps/SRE Engineer, Data Engineer, or Backend Developer working closely with the database;
• Proven performance-tuning experience: query optimization, indexing, execution plans, statistics, and locking;
• Strong T-SQL skills;
• Experience managing database infrastructure in a cloud environment: AWS (preferred), Azure, or GCP;
• DevOps mindset: CI/CD, automation and scripting (e.g., PowerShell, Python, Bash), and monitoring;
• Experience with integrations: ETL/ELT and APIs;
• Upper-Intermediate (B2) English or higher.

You are a star if you have:

• SQL Server on AWS (RDS and/or EC2);
• Hands-on HA/DR (Always On, Multi-AZ);
• SSIS;
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Bicep);
• Experience supporting Java-based applications.
