Introduction to Craneware

At The Craneware Group, we build technology that helps healthcare organisations across the US make smarter, more sustainable decisions. Our platforms rely on highly available, high‑performance data systems, and we’re looking for an experienced Senior Database Administrator to help ensure our databases remain secure, resilient, and future‑ready.

Hybrid working: This UK-based role follows a hybrid model, with around 40% of time per month spent in our Edinburgh office.

The Team

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.

You’ll support business‑critical production and development databases, take ownership of complex issues, and play a key role in shaping our move towards cloud-based database platforms. While not a line management role, you’ll act as a technical mentor and advisor to DBAs, developers, and wider engineering teams.

What you’ll be responsible for

Acting as a technical leader within the Database Administration team
Supporting and optimising production and development databases across on‑prem, private, and public cloud environments
Ensuring availability, performance, security, and recoverability of all database platforms
Leading investigations into complex production database issues
Designing and contributing to cloud migration strategies and future‑state database architecture
Advising senior IT leadership on database platform architecture, capacity planning, and budgets
Overseeing database upgrades, patching, tuning, and performance monitoring
Mentoring DBAs and developers on best practices, efficient coding, and performance optimisation
Contributing to automation through scripting, monitoring, and alerting
Participating in an on-call rotation, taking ownership of incidents impacting customer-facing systems

Technical experience

Expert-level Oracle DBA experience
Strong expertise in database tuning and performance monitoring
Experience working with Very Large Databases (VLDBs)
Hands-on experience with:
- Oracle Exadata
- Oracle Cloud
- Oracle GoldenGate
- Oracle Active Data Guard
- OEM / Grid Control
Proven experience with database migrations, upgrades, and patching
Strong SQL and PL/SQL performance tuning experience
Experience with SingleStore and/or Microsoft SQL Server
Scripting experience (e.g. shell scripting) for automation and monitoring
Comfortable working across Linux/Unix and Windows environments

Ways of working

Detail-oriented and comfortable working with a high degree of autonomy
Confident influencing others and promoting best practices
Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, especially in high‑pressure production environments
Able to collaborate across engineering, DevOps, platform, and leadership teams
Comfortable working in environments requiring high levels of data security and compliance (e.g. PHI awareness)

Background

Typically 5–7+ years’ experience in database administration or a closely related field
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience

Why Craneware?

Work on mission‑critical healthcare platforms with real-world impact
Influence database strategy and cloud migration, not just day-to-day support
A strong, collaborative engineering culture with technical depth
Hybrid working that balances flexibility and collaboration
Long-term platform investment and meaningful technical challenges
