At Interactive, we’re more than a tech company – we’re a quick-growing, forward-thinking team redefining how technology supports businesses.

Recognised as a WRK+ Best Place to Work in 2023 and previously #1 in Australia, we thrive on meaningful impact, customer-centricity, and innovation.

We’re delivering a high-impact legacy uplift program to help clients move from outdated systems to contemporary, high-performance SQL Server platforms.

And that’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a Senior SQL Server DBA who’s deeply technical, customer-focused, and ready to lead complex on-premises SQL Server migrations from legacy (2005–2012) to SQL Server 2022 environments.

In this fixed-term contract role, you’ll take ownership of the full migration lifecycle – from analysis and planning through to implementation, tuning, and post-migration support.

You’ll work directly with clients, guiding them through best practices while solving tough performance and availability challenges.

A bit about you:
You’re a seasoned SQL Server DBA with hands-on migration experience across versions 2005 to 2022
You thrive in customer-facing roles and communicate clearly and confidently with stakeholders
You have solid T-SQL and PowerShell scripting skills (especially with dbatools)




You’re proactive, highly organised, and comfortable leading projects independently
You bring deep knowledge of SQL Server HA/DR, performance tuning, and integration services

Some of the key things you’ll do:
Lead the migration of SQL Server databases from 2005–2012 to SQL Server 2022
Analyse legacy settings and design robust migration strategies
Optimise performance and troubleshoot issues during and after migration
Implement and manage high availability/disaster recovery solutions where needed
Collaborate closely with clients, project teams, and stakeholders to ensure smooth execution
Provide technical guidance and contribute to uplift planning and delivery
Maintain clear communication with Program and Project Managers on progress and risks

Why Interactive?
At Interactive, you’ll be part of a team that values growth, delivery excellence, and connection.

We offer hybrid work flexibility, barista-made coffee in our St Leonards and Port Melbourne offices, and access to a broad range of partner discounts and perks.

If you’re a hands-on SQL Server expert ready to own and deliver a major migration project, we’d love to hear from you.
