Job description

About Natoora

Natoora is committed to revolutionizing the supply of fruit & vegetables and actively shaping the future of food for the better. We have spent over ten years connecting capital cities with flavors that would otherwise be lost forever. Delivering truly seasonal produce to over 800 restaurants in London, New York and Paris, we count amongst our customers some of the world's finest chefs. We also actively seek to re-educate the way people think about and consume fruit & vegetables. Our goal is to create a more meaningful and responsible food system that preserves seed varieties, growing techniques and traditions that are threatened by modern industrial farming and supermarket culture.

 

About the job

We are looking for a talented DBA to join our technology team on a 9-month fixed-term contract to cover a period of maternity leave. This is an opportunity to dive into our in-house systems, manage databases, and contribute to a new project (Snowflake, ETL tools and Tableau) for our BI team.

We work in an agile and lean framework and greatly value collaboration and collective input. We are a small team in a fast-growing, entrepreneurial organization, so you'll be able to make a real impact from day one.

 

Key Responsibilities

  • Maintenance of all our in-house and cloud databases (GCP)

  • Tuning and security

  • Managing backups

  • Managing database upgrades

  • Supporting the BI team with data sources, performance and connectivity for Tableau reporting

 

Key Requirements

  • Proven experience as a DBA

  • Experience with Snowflake and PostgreSQL

  • Experience with ETL tools

  • Experience with Tableau, including connecting and optimizing data sources for dashboards

  • Ability to get up to speed quickly with existing systems and handle a structured handover

 

Qualifications

  • Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics or similar

 

Perks

  • Daily lunch made with the same seasonal produce we supply to chefs

  • Natoora produce at a significant discount

  • Your birthday off (once you’ve hit the 6-month mark )

  • Kitchen stocked from our own growers and producers - including Estate Dairy milk and butter, jam from England Preserves, as well as coffee from our Spa Terminus neighbours Monmouth

 

Our vision for a better food system is built on real human relationships and a diversity of experience, perspective and ideas. We are committed to equality of opportunity and welcome applications from individuals, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio-economic background, religion and/or belief.

About Natoora

Natoora started 20 years ago with a very simple, yet powerful goal to find incredible flavour in fresh produce. Today, our dedication to this mission has grown into an impactful network of over 500 independent growers spanning nine sourcing hubs across three continents. Our mission is clear: to fix the food system at scale by reinstating flavour, nutrition and transparency, all while safeguarding the health of our soils. Experts in sourcing flavour-first, seasonal fruits and vegetables, we work with hundreds of kitchens and some of the most exciting and influential chefs in London, New York, Miami, Copenhagen, Paris, and Melbourne. However, our commitment to creating a better food system also extends beyond professional kitchens to a strong community of home consumers across the US and the UK. From chefs, to home cooks to schoolchildren, we want to empower everyone to make better food choices and become informed drivers of change. On the way, we have been named a Sunday Times Fast Track 100 Company, appeared on the Financial Times’ list of Europe’s fastest-growing companies, and proudly received a GQ Food & Drinks Sustainability Award.
