Dubai Internet City has a Senior Database Administrator opening, full time, on site, with a team managing production database systems for a growing regional business. Six and a half years of experience is the expectation, and this role is based out of the UAE, working directly with the systems teams depend on daily.
The work covers designing and maintaining database structures, optimizing queries for performance, managing backups and data security, and monitoring systems for reliability. A senior administrator here owns the reliability of systems that other teams simply expect to be available, which means the job is quietest when it's going well and busiest exactly when something's gone wrong.
A bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field is expected, along with practical experience administering production database systems and a strong command of database design, query optimization, and backup and recovery procedures.
Experience with a specific major database platform beyond the basics, familiarity with high-availability configurations, and any background where a genuine performance bottleneck took real investigation to trace back to its root cause.
Dubai Internet City is a well-established regional tech hub, and this team's database systems support a genuinely growing business, which means reliability work here has real, visible stakes. Naukri Mitra has listed a small number of roles based in the UAE, and senior administrators who've joined recently describe the relocation process as smoother than expected, with the employer handling most of the visa logistics directly.
Interviews include a technical round on database administration and a scenario discussion about diagnosing a genuine performance bottleneck. Candidates who describe a methodical diagnostic process tend to interview well.
This role is based at Dubai Internet City, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, five days a week on site. Pay runs up to AED 38,000 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within six to seven weeks.
