Job Description

Are you passionate about working with cutting-edge cloud technologies and motivated to deliver innovative solutions to complex challenges that help keep the UK safe? Join BAE Systems as an experienced Database Administrator (DBA) with deep expertise in AWS database services.

As a key member of our Platform Engineering team, you'll design, build, and maintain secure, resilient, and highly available database platforms that underpin mission-critical systems for our National Security customers. These platforms are the backbone for applications that protect the UK, and you'll play a vital role in ensuring they are cloud-optimized, performant, and compliant.

You'll work in empowered, autonomous teams with regular contact with engineering and end-users to design, deploy, and support database solutions across AWS and hybrid environments. You'll be encouraged to identify new ways of solving problems and will have the opportunity to work across a range of customer projects. You'll have ownership and responsibility for your solutions while being part of a wider engineering community that supports your growth.

We fully embrace DevOps and Cloud-first principles, so we value engineers who enjoy working across the full delivery lifecycle and are eager to learn new technologies. You'll help define and implement best practices for AWS-native database services, ensuring security, scalability, and automation are at the heart of everything we deliver.

• Operating Systems: Working knowledge of Linux and Windows.
• Communication and Problem-Solving: Ability to collaborate effectively and adapt to new technologies.
• Agile Delivery: Experience working in Agile teams (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe).

• Certifications such as AWS Certified Database - Specialty, AWS Solutions Architect, or Oracle OCP

Security Clearance is required for this vacancy. If you are not currently Security Cleared, you will need to be eligible for this and willing to go through the process.

How we will support you

• Work-life balance is important; you can work around core hours with flexible and part-time working
