Engineering Group picture
Love always drives what we do, we’re passionate about our jobs, care about our colleagues, and are devoted to our customers. Our mission is to become the most loved European financial service provider. We’re already expanding rapidly into new countries, and we’re not done yet. We have big plans. And that’s where you come in.
Your opportunity:
Mollie is one of Europe's fastest-growing fintech companies. We are looking for a Senior DBA who want to make an impact by working on making our next-generation financial APIs and payments platforms ultra reliable.


What you'll be doing :
  • You will be working with us on shaping and improving the bare-metal and cloud-based database clusters that Mollie's financial products are built on. These products are used by tens of thousands of merchants on a daily basis.
  • As a database administrator you work closely with our SRE's and backend engineers to ship new products with a software reliability engineering mindset, striking a balance between shipping often and maintaining a high level of scaling, system reliability and security.
  • With many payments being performed on our platform every second of the day, system and database scalability are becoming increasingly important. Helping us build scalable products by thinking ahead will be an important part of your work.
  • Next to our existing APIs and dashboard, we are working on innovative financial solutions for our merchants. We are happy to share the details over a coffee, but it's safe to say we will put your skills to the test, allowing you to grow and learn rapidly.


What you have :
  • Minimum of 4 years experience administering MySQL databases
  • Experience with replication, failover and disaster recovery in a distributed database environment.
  • Excellent knowledge of data backup, recovery, security and integrity
  • Production experience scaling fast growing databases and systems
  • Experience with tools for continuous integration or continuous deployment of applications
  • Experience working in hybrid environments would be preferred
  • Experience with Docker or Kubernetes is appreciated.
