Database Engineer (Terraform, Ansible, Cloud)

Als Database Engineer (Terraform, Ansible, Cloud) in het Database Management Services-team speel je een sleutelrol in het bouwen, automatiseren en onderhouden van moderne cloud-based dataplatformen. Je focust op infrastructure automation, observability en schaalbare database services binnen Oracle Cloud en Azure-omgevingen.

Dit is een hands-on engineering rol waarin je automation pipelines ontwikkelt en verbetert en nauw samenwerkt met senior engineers en applicatieteams. Je brengt nieuwsgierigheid, initiatief en een passie voor continuous improvement mee in alles wat je doet.

This is how you will reinvent food retail.

• You will drive and contribute to the automation of cloud infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, self-service, Infrastructure-as-Code services, and DevOps deployment, while continuously improving infrastructure architecture, development, and deployment processes.
• You will implement security baselines and standards for resources including network access, restriction of internet-facing resource provision and configuration within the Azure and Oracle Cloud environment.
• You will work with and support application teams in their digital transformation goals.
• You will create observability strategies with a focus on self-healing mechanisms.

Deze rol is onderdeel van een on-call rotation, om beschikbaarheid en stabiliteit buiten reguliere werktijden te borgen.

Your new team and office.

Together with your team of Product Owner and Database Engineers you will work on inspiring projects to accelerate our transition into a hybrid Food & Tech company. At Albert Heijn, you team up with inspiring peers in the data, digital and tech domains. Our teams work in a hybrid way: both from home as well as in the office.

The recipe for maximum impact:

• Hands-on experience (at least 3 years of relevant experience).
• Writing and maintaining Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Ansible, etc.).
• Scripting for automation (Shell, Python, or PowerShell).
• Cloud environments (Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) – Azure certifications is a plus).
• CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions or similar tools.
• Monitoring and observability platforms (using SaaS-based tools such as Prometheus and Oracle Enterprise Manager, alongside an in-house observability platform powered by Grafana’s LGTM stack).
• Experience as an Oracle Database Administrator (DBA), managing and optimizing database performance and reliability.
• Proven ability to implement secure and highly available infrastructure services.
• Experience in advancing and continuously improving DevOps automation and practices to ensure applications remain easy to deploy, monitor, and scale.
• Experience in knowledge sharing and/or mentoring others.

Nice to have:

• Experience with additional database technologies (e.g., Microsoft SQL Server, Azure SQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB).
• Oracle Cloud database migrations.
• Oracle Cloud Exadata CS setup and automation.
• Advise application teams on performance optimization.
• Advise application teams using various OCI resources and services.
• Proven experience in using Oracle Cloud security tools such as Oracle Cloud Guard, Oracle Data Safe and Azure security tools such as Azure Security Center, Azure Key Vault, and Azure Policies.
