Database Administrator - SQL server / Sybase

Medior/Senior Database Administrator - SQL Server & Sybase

Brussels | Healthcare | Permanent position

For a leading healthcare organisation in Brussels, we are looking for a Medior/Senior Database Administrator to join a small and specialised DBA team within a large and complex IT environment.

The database environment currently relies heavily on Sybase ASE and Microsoft SQL Server. In the short term, Sybase will remain an important part of the role. Over time, the organisation plans to gradually reduce its reliance on Sybase and evolve towards other technologies, with SQL Server playing an important role in this transition.

Your responsibilities

• Managing and maintaining Sybase ASE and SQL Server databases
• Monitoring and optimising database performance
• Troubleshooting and resolving database issues
• Supporting the availability and continuity of the database environment
• Working closely with system engineers and other technical teams
• Gradually contributing to the evolution of the database environment
• Participating in an on-call rotation, approximately one week every four weeks
  
  

Your profile

• 4+ years of experience as a Database Administrator
• Strong hands-on experience with SQL Server and/or Sybase
• Experience with both technologies is highly valued
• Strong Sybase knowledge is a major advantage, particularly given the current environment
• Candidates with strong SQL Server expertise but limited or no Sybase experience can also be considered, provided they are willing to learn Sybase
• Experience in a large, complex or business-critical IT environment is highly valued
• Able to work independently and take responsibility
• Mature, reliable and comfortable working in a small technical team
• Willing to participate in the on-call rotation
• Fluent in English; Dutch or French are not required
  
  

Maturity matters

As this is a healthcare environment, reliability, maturity and a strong sense of responsibility are essential. The systems you support contribute to the continuity of healthcare services, so we are looking for someone who works carefully, remains calm under pressure and understands the impact of their technical decisions.

What we offer

• Permanent position
• Brussels-based role
• 3 days of remote work per week
• 2 days on-site
• A technically challenging and complex environment
• The opportunity to work with both Sybase and SQL Server
• A long-term perspective as the database environment evolves
• A stable role within a specialised DBA team
