We are always moving forward – always pushing ourselves to go further in our efforts to build a more equitable, inclusive world for our employees, our customers and our communities.


The Role

We are seeking a highly experienced and versatile Senior Database Administrator (DBA) with deep expertise in both Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server environments.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, install, configure, and maintain Oracle and SQL Server databases in production and development environments.

  • Perform advanced performance tuning, query optimization, and capacity planning.

  • Manage high availability and disaster recovery solutions (Oracle RAC, Data Guard, SQL Server Always On, Log Shipping, etc.).

  • Implement and maintain backup and recovery strategies using RMAN, Data Pump, and SQL Server native tools.

  • Monitor database health and proactively resolve issues to ensure optimal performance and uptime.

  • Automate routine tasks using PL/SQL, T-SQL, PowerShell, and shell scripting.

  • Collaborate with application developers, infrastructure teams, and business stakeholders.

  • Lead database migrations, upgrades, and patching activities.

  • Ensure compliance with security policies, data governance, and audit requirements.

  • Mentor junior DBAs and contribute to knowledge sharing within the team.

Soft Skills:

  • Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills.

  • Excellent communication and collaboration abilities.

  • Ability to lead initiatives and work independently in a fast-paced environment.

  • Attention to detail and a proactive mindset.

Within our Database Administration team at Kyndryl, you'll be a master of managing and administering the backbone of our technological infrastructure. You'll be the architect of the system, shaping the base definition, structure, and documentation to ensure the long-term success of our business operations. 

Your expertise will be crucial in configuring, installing and maintaining database management systems, ensuring that our systems are always running at peak performance. You'll also be responsible for managing user access, implementing the highest standards of security to protect our valuable data from unauthorized access.

In addition, you'll be a disaster recovery guru, developing strong backup and recovery plans to ensure that our system is always protected in the event of a failure. Your technical acumen will be put to use, as you support end users and application developers in solving complex problems related to our database systems.

As a key player on the team, you'll implement policies and procedures to safeguard our data from external threats. You will also conduct capacity planning and growth projections based on usage, ensuring that our system is always scalable to meet our business needs.

You'll be a strategic partner, working closely with various teams to coordinate systematic database project plans that align with our organizational goals. Your contributions will not go unnoticed - you'll have the opportunity to propose and implement enhancements that will improve the performance and reliability of the system, enabling us to deliver world-class services to our customers.

Your Future at Kyndryl
Every position at Kyndryl offers a way forward to grow your career, from Junior Administrator to Architect. We have training and upskilling programs that you won't find anywhere else, including hands-on experience, learning opportunities, and the chance to certify in all four major platforms. One of the benefits of Kyndryl is that we work with customers in a variety of industries, from banking to retail. Whether you want to broaden your knowledge base or narrow your scope and specialize in a specific sector, you can find your opportunity here.


Who You Are

You're good at what you do and possess the required experience to prove it. However, equally as important – you have a growth mindset; keen to drive your own personal and professional development. You are customer-focused – someone who prioritizes customer success in their work. And finally, you're open and borderless – naturally inclusive in how you work with others.

Required Technical and Professional Expertise

  • Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, Information Technology, or related field.

  • 6+ years of experience in database administration with strong hands-on expertise in both Oracle (12c/19c/21c) and SQL Server (2016/2019/2022).

  • Proficiency in SQL, PL/SQL, T-SQL, and database performance tuning techniques.

  • Experience with Oracle RAC, ASM, Data Guard, and SQL Server Always On Availability Groups.

  • Strong knowledge of Unix/Linux and Windows Server environments.

  • Familiarity with database monitoring tools (OEM, SQL Server Profiler, Extended Events, etc.).

Preferred Technical and Professional Experience

  • Oracle Certified Professional (OCP) and/or Microsoft Certified: Azure Database Administrator Associate.

  • Experience with cloud platforms (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Azure, AWS RDS).

  • Exposure to DevOps practices and automation tools (Ansible, Terraform, Jenkins).

  • Knowledge of other database technologies (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) is a plus.
