We don't wait for the future—we build it. We are Clavium.

Clavium is a developer-centric, tech-forward company dedicated to solving complex problems in the blockchain space. By harnessing advanced technologies, we build tools and capabilities that enable individuals to securely manage their digital assets. We foster a culture of innovation and constant challenge, empowering our team to grow, experiment, and drive impactful solutions.

As a Database Engineer, you will administer our database platforms to ensure they remain online, secure, right-sized and have appropriate HADR solutions. This includes supporting blockchain payments and analytics based systems built on MongoDB, Cassandra and Elasticsearch hosted in both public and private clouds.

You will manage databases across multiple data centres and cloud environments, automating routine tasks like patching and configuration management to free up time for more strategic engineering related initiatives.

Day to day:

• You will promote and collaborate in the creation of solutions to drive automation, environment consistency, continuous delivery with an "everything as code" mentality.

• When appropriate you will lead on complex database tasks such as Information Lifecycle Management (ILM), very large table modifications, advanced query tuning and data-migrations

• Use your training budget and work time to keep up to date, and sometimes drive industry data platform trends and technology adoption.

• Collaborate with colleagues, application development teams, and with business stakeholders.

• Cross train peers in database development and administration. They will do the same for you.
