Your technical skills and knowledge as a system administrator are well applicable here and you do have all the advantages of a specialist job.

Wherever the database runs, things such as performance and the expertise to improve it will indisputably be needed.

You are certainly not alone! You make a soft landing in the team with the MSSQL experts in the Netherlands. They are happy to help you with your development, of course we also want to have fun with each other, so a chat is always welcome.

• Will you become that performance tuning specialist who helps customers with their non-performing databases and applications?

Then this is a very interesting specialism that you can develop with us. We can tell you, there is a great need for it among our customers and in the market.

• Do you protect our customers against potential danger?

• Do you want to create? Do you want to improve? Programming may be in your blood, so don’t let that opportunity go. You can invest in our own developed tools, add to and improve them and even think along with us about the tooling of the future. Of course, our customers would also like to talk to you about improvements and optimization of automation in their own environment.
