Take a central role

The Bank of Canada has a vision to be a leading central bank - dynamic, engaged and trusted - committed to a better Canada. No other employer in the country offers you the unique opportunity to work at the very center of Canada’s economy, in an organization with significant impact on the economic and financial well-being of all Canadians. You will be challenged, energized and motivated to excel in our environment.

Building on the principles that have always guided us – excellence, integrity and respect – we strive to be forward-looking and innovative, to welcome people with diverse perspectives and talents, and to earn trust by living up to our commitments and by clearly explaining the intent of our policies and actions.

Find out more about the next steps in our Recruitment process .

In addition to the position being staffed, this competition may be used to fill similar opportunities (Regular or Term) that become available at the same job grade. If you’re interested in this type of role, we encourage you to apply.

Why you should apply

You will join a collaborative, forward-looking team modernizing the Bank's enterprise database services. Working across established on-premises environments and emerging Azure-based services, you will help strengthen reliability, security and delivery while supporting the Bank's transition to a cloud-first database model.

You will also have access to the Bank's learning and development resources, including relevant certifications, labs and career development opportunities.

About The Position

This role is intended for senior database professionals who combine strong enterprise Oracle and SQL Server administration expertise with demonstrated cloud platform and migration experience. You will support critical production database environments while helping lead the Bank's continued modernization toward Azure-based database services.

This is not an entry point into cloud technologies. You must have practical experience implementing, administering or migrating production database workloads in the cloud and be prepared to apply that experience immediately. You will help guide migration activities, technical decisions and the evolution of the Bank's Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) platform.

This is a hybrid database administration and cloud modernization role. It combines the administration and operational support of enterprise Oracle and SQL Server environments with cloud migration, automation and platform development responsibilities. You will work across on-premises and Azure-based database services as the Bank transitions toward a standardized DBaaS model.

The Platform Portfolio Includes

Azure SQL Managed Instance, the primary migration platform
Azure Database for PostgreSQL, a strategic growth platform
Oracle Database@Azure, used for targeted exception scenarios

What You Will Do

In this role, you will administer and support critical enterprise databases while helping deliver the Bank's cloud migration and DBaaS objectives. More specifically, you will:

Database Administration and Production Operations

Administer and support enterprise Oracle and SQL Server database environments, including availability, performance, capacity, backup, recovery, patching and security.
Diagnose and resolve complex database performance, reliability and availability issues.
Support SQL Server Always On Availability Groups and Oracle technologies such as RAC and Data Guard.
Participate in incident response, problem management, root-cause analysis and the on-call rotation.

Cloud Migration and Hybrid Operations

Assess, plan and execute migrations from on-premises SQL Server and Oracle environments to Azure database platforms.
Develop migration, testing, cutover, validation, rollback and post-migration support approaches.
Work with platform and application teams to address dependencies, compatibility, performance and operational readiness across hybrid architectures.
Help guide technical decisions and drive adoption of standardized database services for new and existing applications.

Cloud Platform Development and Automation

Help design, implement and evolve Azure-based database services, including Azure SQL Managed Instance, Azure Database for PostgreSQL and Oracle Database@Azure.
Provision, scale, patch and decommission databases using automation, infrastructure as code, scripts, pipelines or templated deployments.
Develop and maintain automation for provisioning, monitoring, backup and recovery workflows.
Define and apply platform standards, guardrails and onboarding patterns for application teams.

Security, Resilience and Governance

Implement high availability and disaster recovery patterns aligned with enterprise requirements.
Apply requirements for identity and access management, encryption, auditing, data protection, backup and recovery.
Implement monitoring, alerting and performance baselines to maintain reliability.
Contribute to architecture deliverables, governance processes and continuous service improvement.

What You Need To Succeed

You bring deep enterprise database administration expertise and demonstrated experience working with production cloud database platforms and migrations. You can operate critical Oracle and SQL Server environments, lead or significantly contribute to complex cloud migrations, and help develop secure, reliable and scalable database services. You are a self-starter and strong collaborator who can work independently and influence decisions across technical teams.

In Addition, You Have

Significant hands-on experience administering enterprise Oracle and SQL Server databases in production environments.
Demonstrated hands-on experience implementing, administering or migrating production workloads on cloud database platforms such as Azure SQL Managed Instance and/or Oracle Database@Azure.
Proven experience executing or leading production database migrations from on-premises environments to cloud platforms, including assessment, planning, testing, cutover, rollback and post-migration support.
Experience designing and operating high availability and disaster recovery solutions, including SQL Server Always On Availability Groups and Oracle RAC and/or Data Guard.
Experience developing or maintaining database automation using scripts, infrastructure as code, pipelines or templated deployments.
Strong knowledge of performance tuning, monitoring, backup, recovery, security, data protection and production incident resolution.
Experience improving operational efficiency through automation, standardization and reusable service patterns.
The ability to guide technical decisions, collaborate across infrastructure, cloud, security and application teams, and support application onboarding to shared database services.

Nice to have

Experience with Oracle Exadata or particularly complex enterprise SQL Server deployments.
Familiarity with enterprise governance, security and compliance frameworks.
Knowledge of monitoring, logging and observability tools for cloud platforms.
Relevant certifications, such as Azure and/or Oracle data, database or architecture certifications.

Your Education And Experience

Your combined education and work experience demonstrate that you have the competencies and skills for the position. We are ideally seeking candidates with relevant education in computer science or a related field and five or more years of relevant experience in database technologies and cloud platforms.

Innovative Mindset

We value candidates who demonstrate adaptability, curiosity, and a willingness to learn new technologies, including AI and digital tools. We seek individuals who can think critically about data, question existing processes, and find ways to simplify our work while embracing change and new ways of doing things.

Language requirement

The Bank’s work environment is conducive to the use of both of Canada’s official languages - English and French.
