About this role
Photon is seeking a Senior Database Developer with a decade or more of hands-on experience to lead the design, development, and optimization of complex database systems in their Galway office. You'll work across Oracle, PL/SQL, and Snowflake environments, taking ownership of everything from data modeling and schema design to performance tuning and disaster recovery planning. The role demands strong technical depth in CI/CD automation with Jenkins, database security implementation, and the ability to troubleshoot production issues while mentoring junior developers.
This position suits someone who has built substantial expertise in relational database architecture and is comfortable moving between on-premises Oracle systems and cloud-based Snowflake platforms. You'll collaborate closely with software development teams to ensure data integrity and application performance, and you're expected to stay current with evolving database technologies. A computer science or IT degree is required, along with proven experience in database optimization, query tuning, and security best practices. Oracle certifications and familiarity with other database platforms or cloud solutions are valued but not essential.
