Job Description

SQL Server DBA — Kitroot

Kitroot builds an AI-powered observability platform and "SQL Ops Copilot" for SQL Server and Azure SQL. We work with technical teams in demanding, regulated environments where a database going quiet is measured in minutes and euros.

You will look after production SQL Server estates across live international systems. Structured training, one-to-one coaching and certification support come with the job, not vaguely "after your probation."

What you'll do

  • Own backups, restores and tested recovery procedures — not just the jobs, the proof they work
  • Run security and permissions, patching and version upgrades across several sites and maintenance windows
  • Diagnose slow queries, blocking, deadlocks and missing indexes, and explain in plain language what you found and why
  • Monitor and tune production estates, and help shape what our own platform should be watching
  • Write and maintain runbooks so the next person isn't guessing

What we're looking for

  • Hands-on SQL Server administration in production, not lab or test-only exposure
  • Experience across multiple sites or time zones, or a clear appetite for it
  • Comfort with T-SQL, execution plans and wait statistics
  • Azure SQL Database or Managed Instance experience is a plus, not a requirement
  • Fluent English; Greek is a plus
  • Bachelor's degree

What we offer

  • €2400-4000 month gross, depending on experience
  • A real training budget: certification fees and study time paid, plus one-to-one coaching from senior engineers
  • Hybrid working from Nicosia (remote option is also available).
  • A product team that will actually act on what you tell them about production pain, because you're building the tool you use
