Database & Infrastructure Engineer

Office Based

The Opportunity

Our client is a specialist in the design and delivery of advanced security technologies. In an era where digital and physical threats are constantly evolving, they provide the mission-critical infrastructure that keeps global organizations safe.

They are looking for a versatile Database and Infrastructure Engineer to join their UK headquarters. This is a rare "hybrid" role where you will bridge the gap between Database Administration (DBA) and Systems Engineering. You will be responsible for the heartbeat of their customer platforms—ensuring 24/7 availability for systems that truly matter.

The Role:

Secure Today. Protect Tomorrow.

Working from a rural, high-tech site near Northampton, you will manage a complex ecosystem of SQL and No

SQL environments, virtualization, and networking. This isn't just a "maintenance" role; you will be optimizing performance, designing resilient architectures, and occasionally traveling internationally to support high-stakes customer deployments.

Key Responsibilities:

* Database Mastery:
Performance-tuning and maintaining Microsoft SQL Server (Availability Groups/Replication) and MySQL (Galera Clusters).

* Infrastructure Resilience:
Configuring firewalls, VPNs, and networking to ensure seamless, secure connectivity.

* Virtualization:
Managing vCenter and vSphere environments to host mission-critical applications.

* Global Impact:
Providing technical expertise for internal systems and traveling abroad to ensure successful client installations.

* Best Practice:
Documenting processes to maintain a standard of excellence across all deployments.

What We Are Looking For

The ideal candidate is a pragmatic problem-solver who enjoys the variety of managing both data and the tin it sits on.

Essential

Experience:

* Strong proficiency in Microsoft SQL Server and preferably MySQL.

* Experience with High Availability environments (Clusters, Replication, Galera).

* Solid understanding of Networking & Security (Firewalls, VPN configuration).

* Hands-on experience with VMware (vSphere/vCenter).

* A full UK driving license (due to the rural office location).

"Nice to Have"

Skills:

* Exposure to Neo4J or Cloud Technologies.

* Knowledge of Linux (Ubuntu) and Active Directory.

* Interest in IoT protocols (MQTT, LoRaWAN) or IP Camera systems.

* Experience delivering technical training to non-technical users.

Why Join This Team?

This is an environment where innovation is rewarded and "initiative" isn't just a buzzword.

* Reward:
Competitive salary plus a Class-A share reward scheme for exceptional contributors.

* Growth:
Structured mentoring and a clear path into broader Cyber Security or Lead Infrastructure roles.

* Culture: A collaborative, open-door environment where your voice is heard.

* Purpose:

Work on market-leading products that have a genuine real-world impact on global security.
