Database Administrator
About The Position
As we continue to grow our presence in North America, we’re looking for a Database Administrator to help ensure our database infrastructure remains stable, secure, and ready to scale. You’ll join a collaborative, skilled team responsible for the daily operation and continuous improvement of Centiro’s systems - in an environment with short decision paths, high trust, and a strong focus on quality.

Your role is central to the availability and performance of our systems.
