About the Opportunity
A well-reputed, global software company in the Ottawa area is looking to add a Senior Database Engineer to their growing R&D group. As a recognized innovator in the customer engagement domain, this B2B SaaS company supports millions of transactions across North America, Europe, and APAC.
Reporting directly to the VP of R&D, you will own the design, optimization, reliability, and protection of database systems and the entire data tier across the Microsoft SQL Server platform. Operating within an Agile/Scrum framework, you’ll collaborate daily with members across the Product and Engineering teams to build resilient systems that power high-velocity release cycles.
While this software company has an office presence in the National Capital Region, they boast a fully-remote work model and welcome candidates across Ontario and Quebec.
Duties
- Database Design & Architecture: Design, implement, and maintain scalable database solutions, including conceptual data models and instance configurations for SQL Server
- Performance Optimization: Monitor, troubleshoot, and tune existing database systems to maximize real-time transactional performance
- Security & Reliability: Define and implement robust security protocols, data backup strategies, and high-availability solutions
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with development teams to support new feature designs, future system capacity planning, and complex production deployments in distributed environments
About You
- Deep SQL Server Expertise: 8+ years architecting and scaling SQL Server database systems; optimize high-availability, real‑time transactional performance
- Production Environment Experience: 4+ years managing various DBMS (SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle DB, etc.) at scale in live, production environments
- Problem-Solving Mindset: Exceptional debugging, performance tuning, and root-cause analysis skills
- Agile Adaptability: Comfort navigating fast-paced product cycles and juggling shifting priorities seamlessly
- An Ownership Mindset: You take pride in clean design, automated workflows, and building data platforms that just work
Technical Toolkit
- Core Systems: Master-level understanding of relational database theory, transaction isolation levels, and data modeling
- SQL Server: Advanced T‑SQL mastery and deep knowledge of SQL Server internals
- OS & Scripting: Strong experience with Windows Server and PowerShell scripting, alongside comfort in Linux environments
- Nice‑to‑Haves: Hands‑on experience with cloud infrastructure (GCP, AWS, Azure, etc.)
