DBA Team Lead

Summary

Data has never been more valuable and vulnerable. As cybercriminals become more sophisticated and regulations more stricter, organizations struggle to answer one key question: “Is my data safe?"

At Varonis, we see the world of cybersecurity differently. Instead of chasing threats, we believe the most practical approach is protecting data from the inside out. We’ve built the industry’s first fully autonomous Data Security Platform to help our customers dramatically reduce risk with minimal human effort.

At Varonis, we move fast. We’re an ultra-collaborative company with brilliant people who care deeply about the details. Together, we’re solving interesting and complex puzzles to keep the world’s data safe.

We work in a flexible, hybrid model, so you can choose the home-office balance that works best for you.

We are looking for a DBA Team Lead to own and lead our database domain.
