The primary focus of this role is PostgreSQL - both cloud-hosted (AWS and Azure) and on-premises deployments on Linux hosts. In addition, experience with MongoDB Atlas is valued and will play an increasing part in our database landscape.\nYou will own the design, operation, and continuous improvement of our relational and document database estates. Working closely with application development teams, cloud engineers, and security stakeholders, you will ensure our databases are performant, resilient, and compliant with Allianz and regulatory standards.\nKey Responsibilities\nPostgreSQL\nInstall, configure, and maintain PostgreSQL databases across cloud environments (AWS RDS/Aurora, Azure Database for PostgreSQL) and on-premises Linux hosts, covering version upgrades, patch management, and parameter tuning.\n\nMonitor database health and performance using cloud-native tooling (CloudWatch, Azure Monitor) and third-party observability platforms; proactively identify and resolve bottlenecks in both cloud and on-prem deployments.\n\nOptimise query performance through indexing strategies, query rewriting, and execution plan analysis (EXPLAIN / EXPLAIN ANALYZE).\n\nSupport data migrations using AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) or Azure Database Migration Service, including schema conversion, replication configuration, and cutover planning.\n\nManage and maintain PostgreSQL deployments on Linux hosts: OS-level tuning (kernel parameters, storage I/O), service management, and integration with enterprise monitoring and backup tooling.\n\nMongoDB Atlas\nManage MongoDB Atlas clusters, including provisioning, scaling, and configuration of dedicated and shared-tier deployments across AWS, Azure, and GCP.\n\nAdminister Atlas backup and restore procedures: continuous cloud backups, snapshot scheduling, and point-in-time recovery.\n\nImplement and maintain Atlas network security controls: VPC/VNet peering, private endpoints, IP access lists, and encryption at rest/in transit.\n\nMonitor Atlas clusters and configure alerting: metrics thresholds, integration with external observability tools, and Performance Advisor recommendations.\n\nManage Atlas database users, roles, and X.509 certificate-based authentication in line with least-privilege principles.\n\nWork with Atlas Data Federation to query across Atlas clusters, S3 buckets, and other data sources using federated queries.\n\nSupport teams using Atlas Search (Lucene-based full-text search indexes), Atlas Triggers, Functions, and App Services for event-driven integrations.\n\nUse the Atlas CLI and Terraform Atlas provider for infrastructure-as-code cluster lifecycle management.\n\nGeneral\nDevelop and maintain database documentation, standard operating procedures, runbooks, and disaster recovery playbooks covering both PostgreSQL and MongoDB.\n\nCollaborate with application development teams to review and optimise database schemas, data models, and query patterns across both platforms.\n\nAutomate routine operational tasks using Bash, Python, or SQL scripts and infrastructure-as-code tooling (Terraform, AWS CDK).\n\nParticipate in the on-call rotation for database support and incident response.\n\nRequired Skills & Qualifications\nPostgreSQL (Mandatory)\n5+ years of hands-on experience as a PostgreSQL DBA in production environments.\n\nDeep understanding of PostgreSQL internals: MVCC, WAL, autovacuum, logical and physical replication.\n\nProven experience managing PostgreSQL on cloud platforms - AWS (RDS, Aurora) and/or Azure (Azure Database for PostgreSQL) - including parameter groups, high-availability configurations, and read replicas.\n\nSolid experience administering PostgreSQL on Linux hosts: OS-level tuning, storage configuration, service management, and integration with enterprise backup solutions.\n\nStrong proficiency with performance tuning: EXPLAIN/EXPLAIN ANALYZE, index design (B-tree, GIN, GiST, partial indexes), and statistics management.\n\nDesign, implement, and regularly test backup and disaster recovery strategies - including cloud-managed snapshots and point-in-time recovery - to meet defined RTO/RPO targets.\n\nEnforce database security best practices: role-based access control, encryption at rest and in transit, audit logging, and network isolation, in line with Allianz security policy.\n\nLead capacity planning and storage optimisation; right-size cloud instance types and tune on-premises hardware and OS-level parameters to balance performance and cost.\n\nTroubleshoot and resolve performance issues, connection pool exhaustion, and replication failures within agreed SLA timeframes.\n\nPlan and execute database upgrades, major version migrations, and configuration changes with minimal service disruption, across both cloud and on-premises environments.\n\nExperience designing and testing HA/DR solutions across both cloud-managed and self-hosted PostgreSQL deployments.\n\nPractical experience with cloud database migration services (AWS DMS or Azure DMS) for homogeneous and heterogeneous migrations.\n\nScripting proficiency in at least one of: Bash, Python, or SQL for automation and operational tooling.\n\nFamiliarity with infrastructure-as-code principles (Terraform or equivalent).\n\nStrong understanding of database security controls: encryption, RBAC, audit logging, and network isolation.\n\nExcellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to produce clear technical documentation.\n\nMongoDB Atlas (Advantageous)\nExperience managing MongoDB Atlas clusters across cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP).\n\nFamiliarity with Atlas backup strategies, network security controls, monitoring, and alerting configuration.\n\nAbility to manage Atlas users, roles, and certificate-based authentication in line with least-privilege principles.\n\nExposure to Atlas Data Federation, Atlas Search, Triggers, and App Services.\n\nExperience with the Atlas CLI and Terraform Atlas provider for infrastructure-as-code provisioning.\n\nA fundamental grasp of AI tools will be an added benefit.\n\n Allianz Group is one of the most trusted insurance and asset management companies in the world.
