Full Job Description

Kogan.com is a pioneer of Australian eCommerce, and the software we build is used by millions of customers every day. You'll join a fast-moving engineering team with real ownership, shipping to production daily and using AI as part of how we work.

As a Database Specialist you'll own SQL Server performance across our production ERP environment, working in C# and Entity Framework to keep data fast, accurate and reliable.

What you'll do:

Own and optimise SQL Server performance across a production ERP environment, including complex queries, stored procedures, views, indexes, and data integrity checks.
Design, troubleshoot, and improve data access layers using Entity Framework (EF) and C# to support integrations, fixes, and enhancements.
Investigate and resolve production issues across databases, applications, and integrations, focusing on root-cause analysis and permanent fixes.
Support and maintain ERP integrations and APIs, including REST-based services and service layers.
Monitor system health across Windows Server and SQL Server, proactively addressing performance, stability, and security issues.
Manage database-related operational tasks including backups, restores, upgrades, patching, and capacity planning.
Work closely with Engineering, Finance, and Operations teams to prioritise issues and ensure reliable system operation.
Provide second and third-line support, producing clear documentation for incidents, fixes, and repeatable support processes.
Assist with finance-critical data accuracy requirements, including reconciliations, postings, journals, and inventory updates.
Contribute to automation and continuous improvement initiatives across support tooling, monitoring, and processes.

What you'll need:

Proficiency using AI assisted development tools to support coding, debugging, testing and technical problem solving.
Strong SQL Server expertise: writing and optimising complex queries, stored procedures, views, indexing strategies, and performance tuning.
Hands-on experience with C# in production environments.
Experience supporting data-heavy or business-critical systems, ideally in ERP, finance, or operations domains.
Understanding of APIs and system integrations (REST, service layers, middleware).
Solid Windows Server and system administration fundamentals, including monitoring, patching, backups, and security.
Proven troubleshooting skills in live environments, including logs, databases, integrations, and distributed systems.
Ability to manage multiple issues and stakeholders with strong prioritisation and time management skills.
Clear communicator who can collaborate effectively with technical and non-technical teams.
Analytical mindset with a focus on continuous improvement, automation, and long-term solutions over quick fixes.
