We are a fast-growing organization committed to delivering exceptional service, operational excellence, and cutting-edge technology across the financial services industry.


Position Overview
The Database Administrator (DBA) is responsible for the performance, integrity, security, and availability of FINBOA’s databases across both client-facing and internal environments.



This role operates within a dual-reporting structure:



  • 70% Client Implementations & Support     → Directly supporting client database environments, onboarding, migrations, and production issues
  • 30% IT / Internal Infrastructure → Supporting company-wide database strategy, performance optimization, and security initiatives

This is a hands-on, production-focused role requiring strong experience with Microsoft Azure SQL, particularly in resource management (DTUs/vCores, storage, scaling, and performance tuning).


Key Responsibilities
Primary Responsibilities – Client Implementations & Support


  • Own provisioning, configuration, ongoing maintenance, and disaster recovery planning and testing for client-specific Azure SQL, Azure SQL Managed Instance, and on-premises databases

  • Execute controlled data updates and client-specific configurations
  • Partner with Support to resolve escalated database-related issues
  • Collaborate with Implementation Engineers on onboarding and environment setup
  • Maintain documentation for client database configurations and standards

Secondary Responsibilities – Internal / Company-wide IT


  • Assist IT leadership with internal database administration across corporate environments
  • Support database security initiatives (least privilege, password rotation, auditing, monitoring)
  • Participate in patching, version upgrades, and performance optimization for shared systems
  • Maintain the operational health of internal SQL servers, VMs, and supporting infrastructure, while refining Azure resource configurations, scaling, and cost-efficiency recommendations
  • Assist with monitoring, alerting, and disaster recovery planning
  • Contribute to company-wide data governance, standardization, and compliance initiatives

Required Qualifications
  • 3–5+ years of experience in database administration (SQL Server / Azure SQL)
  • Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure SQL, including:
    • DTU and/or vCore resource management
    • Storage scaling and performance tuning
    • Azure monitoring tools (Metrics, Query Performance Insight, etc.)
    • Cost optimization and right-sizing databases
  • Advanced SQL skills:
    • Query writing and optimization
    • Indexing strategies
    • Stored procedures, views, tables, and execution plan analysis
    • Data migration
  • Experience managing production database environments with high availability requirements
  • Strong understanding of:
    • Disaster recovery
    • Backup and recovery strategies
    • Database security and access control
    • Performance tuning methodologies
  • Proven ability to troubleshoot complex database issues in real-time
  • Experience working cross-functionally with engineering, support, and operations teams

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in SaaS, fintech, or financial services environments
  • Familiarity with multi-tenant database architectures
  • Experience with automation/scripting (PowerShell, Python, Bash)
  • Exposure to Azure DevOps or CI/CD pipelines
  • Experience with Azure networking components (including VNets, subnets, and VPNs)
  • Understanding of compliance frameworks (PCI DSS, SOC 2, etc.)
  • Experience supporting ETL processes or data pipelines

Soft Skills & Competencies
  • Strong communication skills, especially with client-facing teams.
  • Ability to prioritize multiple tasks in a deadline-driven environment.
  • Proactive, curious, and eager to learn.
  • Comfortable working in structured, process-driven contexts.
  • Team-oriented with a service-first mentality.
  • Strong ownership mentality over production systems.
  • High attention to detail and data accuracy.
