Our 32k+ corporate clients benefit from our regulatory resilience with 63+ permissions globally, access to major payment rails, and our proprietary technology.

Moneycorp is a place where energy, commitment, and collaboration are core to our values of shared success. We’re restless in our drive to surpass the expectations of our customers and unlock opportunities to support them at every stage of their journey. The foundation of our success is our people, and nurturing a culture of belonging for all our colleagues is central to our journey as a global business.

Your Next Challenge

We are seeking an experienced SQL Database Administrator (DBA) to support mission‑critical database platforms within a regulated financial services environment. This role is accountable for the technical integrity, resilience, security and lifecycle management of database platforms supporting customer, transactional and regulatory workloads.

This role is responsible for ensuring database availability, performance, security, and regulatory compliance for systems supporting customer, transactional, and regulatory reporting workloads.

The DBA will operate within a strong risk and control framework, working closely with Technology, Information Security, Risk, Compliance, and Audit teams.

A diverse and challenging DBA role offering the opportunity to work on a wide range of support and implementation tasks primarily working in a Microsoft Azure environment.

The Moneycorp data environment also contains Oracle database instances hosted in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

The successful candidate will be ideally placed to work in a data platform environment that is increasingly taking a cloud first approach. This role forms part of an on-call DBA rota and is expected to take ownership of database-related incidents outside of business hours.

Key Responsibilities:

Regulatory compliance & controls

Ensure database operations meet regulatory and supervisory obligations for banking, payments and FX platforms operating across Moneycorp’s global footprint.
Supporting compliance with applicable UK, EU and US regulatory and data protection requirements
Ensuring database controls support operational resilience, transaction integrity and regulatory reporting
Maintaining strong access control, segregation of duties and auditability across jurisdictions
Supporting internal and external audits (e.g. ITGC, ISO27001, SOC2, FCA, SOX and regulatory examinations) with clear, timely evidence.
Ensuring all database changes follow approved change and release processes with appropriate risk and regulatory impact assessment
Work closely with technology, risk, compliance and information security teams to ensure database designs and changes remain compliant, resilient and fit for purpose across all regulated estates.

Database operations & resilience

Administer Microsoft SQL Server environments across development, test, and production.
Maintain high availability and disaster recovery solutions to meet defined RTO/RPO and operational resilience requirements.
Execute and regularly test backup, restore, and failover procedures.
Performance tune production systems – ensuring maximum efficiency.
Act as the technical lead for database-related incidents, owning investigation, resolution and post-incident review.
Provide out‑of‑hours and on‑call support for incidents impacting critical financial systems.

Security & data protection

Implement and maintain database security controls, including:
- Role‑based access control and least‑privilege principles
- Encryption at rest and in transit
- Auditing and logging of database activity
Protect sensitive financial and personal data in line with GDPR and internal data handling standards.
Remediate vulnerabilities identified through security scans or audits.
Own and enforce secure database configuration baselines across all platforms (SQL Server, Azure SQL and Oracle), ensuring continued compliance with internal security standards and audit findings.
Accountabilities include, but are not limited to:
- Service account segregation and least-privilege enforcement
- Removal of legacy or insecure authentication mechanisms
- Elimination of unsafe database settings (e.g. TRUSTWORTHY)
- Correct ownership and hardening of system and database accounts
Proactively identify and remediate configuration drift from approved security standards, acting as the technical authority for database security posture.

Performance & Stability

Monitor performance and capacity to ensure systems consistently meet SLA, latency and throughput requirements.
Diagnose and resolve performance issues affecting customer-facing or regulatory systems.
Perform proactive health checks and preventative maintenance.
Own the overall performance posture of database platforms, ensuring configuration, indexing strategies, isolation levels and resource usage are reviewed and optimised proactively.
Implement and maintain performance standards aligned to best practice, including:
- TempDB design and placement
- Parallelism configuration
- Availability Group topology and replica strategy (including read-only replicas)
- Transaction isolation strategy
Lead root cause analysis for recurring performance issues, deadlocks and contention patterns, ensuring permanent remediation rather than tactical fixes.

Database Maintenance & Reliability

Define, implement and continuously improve database maintenance strategies covering:
- Backup, restore and periodic recovery testing
- Index and statistics management
- Integrity checking and corruption detection
Ensure maintenance activities are automated, auditable and aligned with platform scale and workload characteristics.
Provide evidence of maintenance effectiveness through documented test restores, disaster recovery exercises and operational reporting.

Platform Lifecycle, Version and Patch Management

Own database version and patch compliance across all environments, ensuring platforms remain within vendor-supported versions and are patched in line with organisational risk appetite and board-approved tolerances.
Monitor vendor roadmaps and end-of-support timelines, proactively identifying technology risk and upgrade requirements.
Lead the technical planning and execution of database upgrades, including:
- Impact assessment and compatibility testing
- Upgrade sequencing across environments
- Rollback and contingency planning
- Coordination with application, infrastructure and security teams

Automation & controlled delivery

Develop automation and scripting where appropriate, ensuring controls, approvals, and auditability are maintained.
Support controlled database deployments through CI/CD pipelines.
Reduce operational risk through standardisation and repeatable processes.

Collaboration & documentation

Partner with application teams to ensure secure, performant database designs.
Engage with software and platform engineering communities throughout the development cycle to review code for efficiency and performance.
Provide guidance on SQL Server best practices in a financial services context.
Maintain comprehensive documentation covering architecture, procedures, risks, and controls.
