About Backbase: Backbase is the leading AI-powered banking platform that is used by financial institutions worldwide to create

seamless digital experiences. As a Senior Database Engineer in our Retail department, you'll be instrumental in optimizing the

core data infrastructure that powers these experiences for millions of users, directly contributing to our mission of reinventing

banking. Join our team at Backbase, one of the LinkedIn Top Companies of 2023 in the Netherlands, known for our great work

environment and opportunities for career growth. We're committed to fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and growth,

The job in short: Are you a performance enthusiast with a deep understanding of databases, ready to be the ultimate database

authority within Backbase? As a Senior Database Engineer (also known as a Senior Performance Engineer or DBA), you'll diagnose and

resolve complex database performance issues, ensuring our digital banking platform operates at peak efficiency for our global

customers.

Meet the job: Database performance engineers are a cornerstone of Backbase technology. You'll provide invaluable guidance to our

development teams (tribes and squads) in their approach to databases and data design, ensuring our microservices deliver optimum

performance. You'll analyze and interpret large volumes of performance data to characterize application behavior while proactively

scanning for potential problems. Once an issue or bottleneck is identified, you'll build simulations to test your findings, and

upon confirmation, you'll clearly explain it to Technical Architects and guide them towards a solution. We believe in having the

guts to push limits and break barriers to make things happen, continuously learning and reinventing ourselves for maximum impact,

never giving up.

Your duties will include:

Explaining complex findings to a variety of technical audiences.
Testing our Proof-of-Concept (PoC) products to ensure they achieve our ambitious goals.
Ensuring overall software quality, scalability, and performance.
Working closely with our cloud solutions team on their Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and launch.
Acting as a consultant to our internal development teams and educating them on performance.

How about you? Looking for a journey instead of a job? Then let’s talk! We are THE pioneers in banking tech. As a Senior Database

Engineer at Backbase, your role expands beyond the day-to-day operations of engineering. If you’re a curious go-getter with a

passion for working with people and challenging your own skill set, then this is for you. We are creators, with a customer-centric

mindset that loves what they do and brings fun to any challenge. Together we kick ass, have fun and feel proud when our vision is

delivered. The next day - we wake up and raise the bar a little higher.

To really tackle this role, we believe you’ll need:

Solid experience with large (100TB+), highly available, and high-transaction databases, with MySQL being a must-have (Oracle or

MSSQL is a plus).

Experience working with Cloud databases, either AWS or Azure.
Deep knowledge about database fundamentals and architectures, alongside SQL code performance review and optimization.
Familiarity with standard edition tools for performance measurement, analysis, and optimization.
Experience with developing tools and methodology for isolating performance issues.
The ability to coordinate, plan, and manage complex technical solutions.
Excellent communication skills, able to explain complex subjects to a wide audience with different expertise levels.
Experience with ML/LLM/AI concepts and their impact on database performance and data architecture, especially in a

high-transaction environment.

You must be located within commuting distance to our Kraków office, as we work in a hybrid mode, at least twice per week from

the office.
