Senior PostgreSQL Migration Engineer
Nordic Investin has been engaged by a partner company to find a Senior PostgreSQL Migration Engineer. You enjoy migrations where success means application behaviour, performance and operational confidence all survive the move. Most of the role is hands on migration delivery, with additional responsibility for reviewing the target setup and improving its structure, performance and operating model. Provenance, quality, access and evaluation belong in the solution from the beginning. Solutions should be designed for repeatable delivery, monitored use and responsible change after deployment. As a senior colleague, you will own substantial outcomes and help others make stronger decisions. You are expected to recognise risk early, communicate it without drama and move work forward with practical alternatives. What you will do
Convert schemas, data types, procedures and database services. Plan and execute data migration with reconciliation controls. Tune queries, indexes, vacuum behaviour and configuration. Support application teams adapting SQL and database interactions. Design cutover, rollback and validation procedures. Review the PostgreSQL estate and recommend practical improvements. What you will bring
Deep PostgreSQL engineering and administration experience. Hands on Oracle to PostgreSQL migration work. Experience with high availability, backup and recovery. Scripting and migration automation ability. Clear communication across application and database teams. Experience that would add value
AWS DMS, ora2pg or comparable migration tooling. Very large databases or tight downtime windows. Regulated transaction systems. A background that can succeed here
You may come from database engineering, application performance or enterprise migration consulting. What makes the opportunity interesting
This role offers a clear technical mission and visible milestones. You will solve difficult compatibility and performance problems while influencing the PostgreSQL standards that remain after the migration ends. Nordic Investin will make sure you understand the context, expectations and decision path before you are asked to commit significant time. You do not need every optional technology if your core experience transfers and you can explain how you would close the gap. Nordic Investin welcomes candidates with different routes into technology and assesses applicants on relevant capability, judgement and potential.
