Job Description
The Opportunity
Embedded Payments runs a group of payments platforms serving customers in the UK, Japan, Australia and Current Zealand. Our platforms process continuously, and the businesses on them depend on transactional databases that stay fast as volumes grow, and on overnight data warehouse loads landing on time. The estate is Microsoft SQL Server throughout, across a range of hosting models: Microsoft AVS, Azure elastic pool and managed instance, and AWS.
The team is three DBAs, one in the UK and two in Pune, working a rostered pattern that extends live database coverage across the UK, Japan and ANZ business days. A team of that size against an estate of that reach means genuine ownership — the work is visible,



and the people doing it shape the technical direction.
The appointment is senior. The role contributes to the maintenance and health standard for the estate and delivers it across platforms and hosting models, holds database escalation for live payments systems, and brings depth of experience to the team. For part of every shift it operates independently. It is a hands-on operate-and-improve position, technical throughout, without people-management responsibility.
