You’ll join our
Shared Data Services team, acting as a technical leader responsible for the performance, availability, security, and evolution of our database platforms across
on‑prem and cloud environments.
This is a hands-on senior technical role, with real influence over database architecture, performance, and cloud migration strategy.
