Database Manager

About Harlan Data Systems:

Most work comes in through ConnectWise tickets, with a dispatch board for onsite visits. Harlan Data Systems provides managed IT for offices of 10 to 200 users: help desk, patching, backups, Microsoft 365 and firewall management. Founded in 2007, we now have 50 employees.

About the role:

Harlan Data Systems is looking for another Database Manager to keep our SQL Server and PostgreSQL databases backed up, patched, fast and secure. Our headquarters is in Eindhoven, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. This is a full-time remote role. We use an employer of record in the US, so you get a proper employment contract, not a freelance agreement. Working hours overlap with Central European Time.

In your first few months you will:

• Control access with roles, least privilege and audited service accounts.
• Document configurations, runbooks and disaster recovery procedures.
• Automate maintenance with PowerShell, SQL Agent jobs or Bash.
• Migrate databases to Amazon RDS, Aurora or Azure SQL.
• Tune queries, indexes and statistics using execution plans and Query Store.
• Respond to after-hours database incidents on a rotating schedule.

About you:

• 7+ years of hands-on database administration experience.
• Experience with high availability and disaster recovery setups.
• Willingness to work occasional nights and weekends for maintenance windows.
• Understanding of Windows Server and Linux as database hosts.
• Deep knowledge of at least one of SQL Server, Oracle or PostgreSQL.
• Strong T-SQL, PL/SQL or PL/pgSQL.

Why work with us:

• Wellness allowance.
• Paid sick days.
• Monthly internet allowance.
• 24 days paid time off.
• Annual salary review.
• Public holidays observed per your country.

Start: Immediately.
