DBA Australia jobs

If you live in Australia or New Zealand, you’ve likely heard of AMP. But at a time when society is changing, we are too. We’re now a nimbler business with new leadership and thinking.

For us, these are exciting times. There’s a real potential for big thinkers to help us redefine what financial services could be. And turn our legacy into something even more positive and powerful for the future.

Help people create their tomorrow, while you create yours

We help people with their banking, super, retirement and finances. Through upturns, downturns, recessions, and major life transitions. Every day, we help people see and make more of their financial potential, so that they can create their tomorrow. And we’ve been doing it for over 170 years.

If we do our job well, we genuinely add to the prosperity of our country and its people.

How you'll make an impact

As an Application DBA, you'll play a critical role in supporting one of Australia's leading wealth management platforms, ensuring the performance, stability, security and scalability of the North Platform's database environment. Working across a complex, transaction-heavy ecosystem, you'll take ownership of database design, optimisation and governance, helping to underpin the technology that supports advisers, customers and business partners across AMP's wealth business.

This is far more than a traditional DBA role. You'll act as a technical leader within the North Technology team, partnering closely with developers, project teams and business stakeholders to drive performance improvements, support application delivery, enhance data integrity and strengthen operational resilience. Your expertise will directly influence platform stability, scalability and future roadmap decisions while helping AMP continue its digital transformation journey

What you'll bring to the role

You'll bring strong experience across SQL Server and enterprise-scale database environments, coupled with a deep understanding of application development and database design principles. You'll be comfortable working across database architecture, schema design, performance tuning, stored procedures, indexing strategies and optimisation of high-volume transactional systems. Experience with .NET technologies, Agile delivery environments and modern DevOps practices will be highly valued.

Beyond your technical capability, you'll be a proactive problem solver who enjoys tackling complex challenges and influencing technical direction. You'll have the confidence to engage with stakeholders across technology and the business, provide mentoring and technical leadership to development teams, and ensure solutions meet security, regulatory and operational requirements. Most importantly, you'll bring a continuous improvement mindset and a passion for building reliable, high-performing platforms.

You’ll thrive here if…

If you can adapt from BAU to the ambiguous with ease, you’ll do well here. Change is never easy, so bring your commitment, grit and growth mindset.

Because we run lean, you’ll be expected to jump in and deliver across a variety of areas. Meaning, you’ll be closer to the action and executive decisions that influence where we go next.

If you’re someone that can hold their own, you’ll find AMP quite liberating.

Why we think you’ll love working at AMP

Doing what we’ve always done is not an option, so your clever ideas will get airtime here. You’ll be encouraged to speak up and try new things. If they don’t work, we move on – better for it.

We know there’s no one way of doing things. So, you won’t have to sacrifice who you are or how you work to fit in here. We’re inclusive and flexible in many of the ways you’d expect. And in some of the ways you wouldn’t. As long as your health and wellbeing come first - at home and at work.

In fact, most of what makes AMP such a welcoming, enjoyable place to work are our people. Wherever you go, you’ll find moments to connect, feel valued and do meaningful work.

Whether it’s through our first-class leaders who are invested in you and your success. Through year-round opportunities to volunteer, fundraise and give back to the community. Or in the everyday challenges you face as we work together to strengthen this great organisation. Challenges that will stretch you, amplify your potential and compound the impact you have.

We believe in the power of inclusion and diversity

We’re dedicated to fostering inclusion, diversity, and a warm feeling of belonging at AMP. It sparks creativity, ignites innovation, and turns up the dial on the quality of our decisions and performance. This not only makes our workplace more engaged, but also leads to better connections with our customers.

We're your allies in the search for the perfect fit - when you apply, let us know how we can support you to put your best self forward during our selection process.

We're also committed to enhancing employment opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, so we enthusiastically encourage candidates from these backgrounds to apply and explore our Reconciliation Plan on our website
