We’re supporting a key client with the migration of their France Data Warehouse application to SQL Managed Instance (SQL MI), and we’re looking for an experienced DBA to join the programme team.

o Configure access and authentication (SQL auth) and enable data flow upstream/downstream
o Set up replication between SQL MI and SQL Server 2019 (IRL), resolving any constraints or conflicts
o Troubleshoot database issues during testing, go-live, and hypercare phases (2 weeks post go-live)

What we’re looking for
o Strong hands-on SQL DBA experience, ideally including Azure SQL Managed Instance
o Proven experience with backup/restore, replication setup, and data pipeline connectivity
o Problem-solving mindset and ability to support go-live and hypercare activities
o Clear documentation and knowledge transfer skills
