Firmware Developer - Athens, Hybrid (3-2)

Our client is a leading financial services company running mission-critical applications that depend entirely on databases performing reliably, securely and without interruption. The role exists to own the health and performance of that database infrastructure as complexity and compliance demands grow.

The Role

Nice to Have
