We are a global evidence generation company that supports clinical trials with smart technology, scientific expertise, and hands-on operational support — so better data leads to better decisions in healthcare. We embrace AI and advanced technologies to enhance every aspect of what we do, from data analysis to operational efficiency.
Our teams work at the intersection of science, technology, and patient experience, delivering digital solutions powered by AI innovation that make clinical trials more efficient, more accurate, and more accessible around the world. Trusted by leading pharmaceutical companies and CROs, our platforms and services support studies across more than 90 countries and have contributed to hundreds of new drug approvals.

About the Role
As our database engineer in IT Cloud Operations team, your core focus will be Microsoft SQL Server on Azure — monitoring, patching, backups, and incident response — working alongside senior engineers in the US, Europe, and India. Experience with other databases such as Oracle or PostgreSQL is a definite plus.
This role provides backup coverage for our specialists, so you’ll have time and support to broaden your database and cloud skills as you go. If you’re a solid SQL Server DBA curious about cloud and AI-assisted IT operations, we want to hear from you.
KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES - Function
- Administer production MS SQL Server databases: monitoring, patching, backup management and restore testing, performance tuning, and troubleshooting.
- Respond to alerts, identify root cause, and drive issues to resolution.
- Execute change and release work across environments under change control.
- Use AI tools to automate routine work and improve troubleshooting and cost efficiency.
- Grow into Oracle and broader cloud database coverage over time — with training.
Knowledge, Skills & Attributes
Essential: - Solid hands-on experience managing production MS SQL Server databases.
- Working knowledge of Azure (AWS experience is a plus).
- Comfortable working day-to-day on Windows Server; Linux familiarity is a plus.
- Advanced English — you’ll work daily with US-based and global teams.
- A learning mindset.
- Oracle, Infrastructure as Code, or experience in a regulated environment are all nice to have — none are required.
Desirable:
- Comfort using AI tools (Copilot, Claude, or similar) to work more efficiently on operational tasks.
- Bonus if you’ve used an AI assistant in real operational or engineering work — bring an example if you have one.
- We value the judgment to verify AI output before acting on production, not just familiarity with the tools.
