Who we are
idataraya is a Malaysian software company. We design, build and then operate the systems our clients run their organisations on, across payments, healthcare, retail, property and the public sector.
The engineers who design and build a system are the ones who keep it running afterwards. That is the shape of the whole company, and it is why the roles here look the way they do.
The team
Cloud and infrastructure. Architecture, security, and the day-to-day operation of live systems.
About the role
You look after the databases behind live systems: performance, backups, and a recovery path you have actually tested. These hold clinical and financial records.
What you will do
- Manage production databases: performance, capacity, patching and access.
- Own backup and recovery, and test the recovery.
- Tune queries with the engineers rather than at them.
- Plan and run schema migrations against live data.
What you will bring
- Production database administration experience with at least one relational engine.
- Query tuning skills, and the ability to read an execution plan.
- Discipline about backups, retention and access control.
- Care with migrations on data that cannot be re-created.
What we offer
- Ownership of real systems from the first architecture session through to live operation, rather than a slice of someone else's design.
- Direct contact with the people using what you build, with no account layer in between.
- Work delivered in two to four week increments, demonstrated and accepted before the next one starts.
- More than twenty production engines underneath the client systems, so the same problem is rarely solved twice.
We consider every applicant on what they have built and how they work. Tell us about your experience in your own words, and we will come back to you either way.
