Summary:

The primary objective of this role is to assess and modernize the database landscape of a critical ERP system while maintaining its operational capabilities during a transition from legacy technologies to a modern platform.

Main Responsibilities:

The Senior Database Architect will ensure the integrity and performance of the database systems throughout the modernization process.

  • Review the current SQL Server database design, indexes, queries, and operational practices.

  • Identify performance issues, technical debt, risks, and areas that are performing well.

  • Recommend and prioritize pragmatic improvements.

  • Assess the feasibility of migrating from SQL Server to PostgreSQL, identifying compatibility issues, risks, expected effort, and migration approaches.

  • Define and implement robust database observability and performance monitoring, including performance baselines, query diagnostics, wait statistics, blocking/deadlock detection, capacity trends, and actionable alerts.

  • Work within an AI-native engineering environment using Specification-Driven Development (SDD) frameworks like OpenSpec to structure requirements and implementation plans.

Key Requirements:

  • Strong, hands-on SQL Server expertise (design, indexing, query optimization, operational practices).

  • Solid working knowledge of PostgreSQL to assess migration feasibility and compatibility.

  • Proven experience optimizing query and index performance in production environments.

  • Experience modernizing or refactoring databases behind legacy applications.

  • Ability to define and implement database observability/monitoring.

  • A pragmatic, risk-aware approach that balances improvement efforts with migration costs and business risks.

Nice to Have:

  • Experience in assessing and scoping SQL Server to PostgreSQL migrations.

  • Experience in environments with both legacy and modern systems in production.

  • Comfort with Specification-Driven Development (SDD) frameworks.

  • Ability to produce clear, prioritized, business-readable recommendations for non-DBA stakeholders.

Other Details:

  • Work Model: Remote from Romania

  • Contract duration: 17.08.2026 - 17.11.2026 (3 months)

  • English Language Skills: B2, C1, C2
