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.
