From the bakery around the corner to international hotel and retail chains. The software is powerful, customer questions are diverse, and no two days are the same. You'll get to know the product inside out and contribute to something that's growing rapidly in more than 20 countries.\nHow do we do it? We work in a fast-paced environment with short communication lines. There are no unnecessary meetings and no politics. Our Focus? Ownership, clear communication, and getting things done together. We move quickly, learn by doing, and continuously improve. As our Senior Database Administrator, you’ll keep our complex database fast, stable, and ready to scale, while helping developers understand the impact of their queries on performance.\nRequirements\nThis is what you’ll do\n You’re responsible for the performance, stability, and scalability of our database infrastructure, spread across multiple clusters. You’ll review and optimise queries, oversee migrations, and make sure our infrastructure keeps up as we grow, all while raising the bar on how we manage data internally. You’ll work closely with our Platform team, and with developers directly to make sure the database side is considered from the start.\nOwn production database performance: review and optimize queries, indexing, and execution plans using MySQL.\n\nRun migrations across our database clusters, including working with Atlas.\n\nImprove and evolve our database infrastructure, including scaling strategies like sharding and partitioning, as we restructure how our systems are set up.\n\nWrite and maintain the standards that keep database work consistent across teams, from data modelling to how migrations get done.\n\nHandle regular database maintenance, from monitoring and mutations to schema changes.\n\nReview merge requests and PHP code for how they touch the database and join project kick-offs to shape the database approach early.\n\nThis is what you’ll need\n5+ years of experience as a database administrator or database engineer, ideally across large or complex databases.\n\nExperience in fintech, HR tech, SaaS, or ticketing and ordering platforms is a plus. A relevant certification helps too, though it’s not a requirement.\n\nDeep expertise in MySQL, with solid experience in at least one other Database Management System. Postgres, Oracle, or MSSQL Server are all a plus.\n\nFamiliarity PHP skills, enough to read and review how developers write queries and loops.\n\nExcellent written and spoken English. You can communicate clearly enough so that there’s no room for misinterpretation.\n\nWhat you'll get\nAt Dyflexis, you'll be part of an ambitious, energetic, and customer-focused team. We offer:\nFixed salary up to €6,500 gross per month based on a 40-hour week (experience based).\n\nPersonal development budget to level up your skills.\n\n25 vacation days plus your birthday off in exchange for cake.\n\nAn in-house chef surprising you daily with fresh lunch.\n\nThe best parties, drinks and trips (Winter sports, Ibiza and more).\n\nMembership at ARJ Training boxing gym (home of champion Tarik and Levi Rigters).\n\nSolid pension plan and 8% holiday allowance.\n\nBuy or sell vacation days, you decide.\n\nTravel allowance and WFH compensation.\n\nFriday chair massages to kick off your weekend.\n\nApply now\nReady to bring order to our databases and help our developers build things that hold up under real load? Apply now. No cover letter needed, we’ll ask a few questions and get back to you quickly.\nNote: Contact by job agencies and recruiters will not be appreciated.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3625,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["HR & Payroll Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-07T08:59:47Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"NL","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Recognised sponsor of the Dutch immigration service (IND)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Highly skilled migrants and regular labour","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-19T06:52:34+00:00","sources":["IND: public register of recognised sponsors (work)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":18,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.507,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":56,"expected_fill_days":20,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-28T05:59:10Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":87552,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/dyflexis-senior-database-administrator","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/dyflexis-senior-database-administrator.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-29T04:58:45Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":7717,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-30T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":183772},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=183772"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdyflexis-senior-database-administrator"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdyflexis-senior-database-administrator"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdyflexis-senior-database-administrator"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/dyflexis-senior-database-administrator\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdyflexis-senior-database-administrator"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":499125}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"dyflexis.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":499125},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
