WeDo are working with a business who are now arguably at the most interesting stage of their well publicised, successful journey. After PE Investment the business is scaling rapidly!

Who are they.......Imagine a finance app that’s like your smart, low-fee wingperson—budgeting help, savings boosts, and no confusing lingo! It’s here to make managing money actually easy

Responsibilities include;-

  • Sole DBA (Data team currently picking this up) supporting multiple datasets!
  • Live/High transactional experience is essential
  • Full cloud-native solution currently hosted on AWS
  • Migrating datasets across to Postgres/Aurora DB. This is in the early stages and will involve some architectural changes
  • Performance Tuning/Indexing/Queries/Optimisation etc
  • Acting as the "glue" between multiple teams include Platform/Software and Data Engineering.
  • Any experience with IAC using Terraform is desirable as well as using Kafka & Kafka streams!

Due to the fast moving nature of this business, the above tech landscape is likely to change offering the successful candidate the opportunity to stamp their identity over an already great product portfolio.

This is a fully remote role based out of the UK - however they do have offices in Manchester and London if you wish to be Hybrid.

3 stage process - rough turnaround time is 12 days.

*No sponsorship is available for this role unfortunately*

If this is of any interest, please apply and I'll be in touch.
