☁️ Azure Cloud DBA Engineer
📍 Canberra, Melbourne or Sydney | 🔐 NV1 Clearance Required

💾 Love databases? Enjoy cloud? Why not have both.

I’m working with a client delivering large-scale cloud transformation—and they’re looking for an Azure Cloud DBA Engineer who can bring serious database expertise into the cloud era.
If you’re someone who enjoys optimising performance, solving complex data challenges, and modernising legacy environments, this is a role where you can make real impact.

🚀 What you’ll be doing
You’ll sit at the intersection of cloud engineering and database expertise, helping build secure, scalable, high-performance environments.
  • Lead end-to-end database migrations to Azure SQL (PaaS)
  • Administer and optimise databases across multiple technologies
  • Design and implement backup, recovery, and disaster recovery strategies
  • Monitor, troubleshoot, and fine-tune performance and availability
  • Build and support secure Azure cloud infrastructure
  • Collaborate with engineering and security teams on best practices
  • Contribute to migration planning, discovery, and cutover activities
  • Help drive cost optimisation and governance initiatives
🧠 What you bring
You’re equal parts DBA specialist and cloud enthusiast—someone who knows data inside out and is comfortable working in Azure.
  • Strong hands-on experience with Azure SQL and database migrations
  • Expertise across databases like MSSQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, MariaDB or Oracle
  • Experience with Azure Data Migration tools and PaaS environments
  • Knowledge of automation (PowerShell), CI/CD, and Azure DevOps
  • Understanding of cloud security, identity, and networking
  • Ability to troubleshoot and optimise in fast-moving environments
  • Azure certifications are a plus.
🌟 Why this role?
  • Work on complex, high-impact cloud transformations
  • Blend deep DBA skills with modern cloud engineering
  • Join a team focused on performance, security, and scalability
  • Be part of a forward-thinking, cloud-first environment
🔐 The must-have
Due to the nature of the work, a minimum NV1 Security Clearance is required.

📣  Interested?
If you’re a DBA who’s evolved into the cloud—or someone ready to take that leap—this is a great opportunity to step into a role where your expertise truly matters.
