Database Platform Engineer

Our Story   Hello there. We’re Zopa.   We started our journey back in 2005, building the first ever peer-to-peer lending company. Fast forward to 2020 and we launched Zopa Bank. A bank that listens to what our customers don’t like about finance and does the opposite. We’re redefining what it feels like to work in finance. Our vision for a new era of banking puts people front and centre — we’ve built a business that empowers everyone to aim high, every day, to move finance forward. Find out more about our fantastic offerings at Zopa.com!    We’re incredibly proud of our achievements and none of it would be possible without the amazing team here. It’s not just industry awards we’re winning, we’ve also been named in the top three UK’s Most Loved Workplaces.    If you embrace unconventional challenges, are unafraid to think differently and are driven to make an outsized impact, you’ll thrive here at Zopa, so join us, and make it count. Want to see us in action? Follow us on Instagram @zopalife The Team The DBA team sits within Zopa’s Platform Tribe, alongside Cloud Infrastructure and DevX. We support the databases and data stores behind critical customer and engineering services, while evolving how those services are delivered. This is not a traditional, server-only DBA role. We are automating database operations, strengthening cloud and infrastructure-as-code practices, and giving engineering teams clearer, safer ways to use database services. The team is also progressing a major transition from Microsoft SQL Server towards PostgreSQL, creating meaningful technical change for someone who enjoys both depth and improvement.
