DBA

ClearBank
London
Grow with the challenge

At the time of inception, cloud-based systems and API fluency were new. But that didn't scare us. We waved goodbye to legacy systems and embraced modern technology – where our true innovation began and didn't stop.

No hierarchy, no egos. Just a spirit of collaboration that flows right throughout our organisation – it’s woven into our DNA. We genuinely want to know about each other’s learnings and expertise, especially where it can help us achieve bigger things.

At ClearBank, we make things happen. We solve problems together because we know that many heads are always better than one. Valuing different perspectives is what sets our culture apart. And being able to disagree and commit is key to our progress. Above all we’re a team because when we win together, it feels so much better than doing it alone.

What You Can Expect

ClearBank is a place where you can do things differently and challenge the status quo. We will give you a high level of autonomy and transparency, and we trust you to make the right decisions for the bank.

You will work closely with data engineers, platform teams, and product stakeholders to ensure robust data operations, proactive incident management, and scalable database architecture.

Your Role Includes

  • Optimise and maintain Azure SQL Server performance, including indexing, partitioning, and query tuning to support scalable data operations.
  • Lead root cause analysis for database-related incidents, identify corrective actions and work with product engineering teams on resolution.
  • Develop reusable, self-service capabilities that empower product engineering teams and reduce operational overhead.
  • Design and implement resilient data storage strategies, including Azure SQL to Data Lake patterns for long-term retention and schema evolution.
  • Contribute to platform design decisions and continuously improve engineering standards.

What You’ll Bring

To excel in this role, you’ll also need:

  • Experience of large, high-throughput systems, with minimal maintenance windows.
  • An architectural understanding of global Azure SQL deployments
  • Experience with CI/CD, testing frameworks, and production deployments.
  • Hands-on experience with at least one of the following languages: C#, Python, Scala, Powershell.
  • An openness to work cross-functionally in technologies such as Databricks.

Regretfully we are not able to sponsor applicants for immigration purposes at the current time.

What makes a great ClearBank team member? Does this sound like you?

  • You focus on solutions and positive outcomes, thinking radically and responsibly to find the best result for our customers, your colleagues and the bank;
  • You actively seek feedback from others to drive your growth and development, always assuming positive intent from others and develop strong, trusting relationships you’re your colleagues and customers: you really, genuinely care;
  • You always strive for the highest quality, but you know that done is better than perfect; you welcome a challenge knowing that they learn as you go and iterate;
  • ‘I’ before ’we’, isn’t in your vocabulary

If this sounds like you then we encourage you to dust off that CV and apply!

A little bit more about us!
