DBA Intern
Posted on Jul 7, 2026
About the company
Tabby builds financial products used by millions of users across the GCC. We work on high-load, security-critical systems with strict regulatory requirements. The Database Engineers group (DBA) is part of Infrastructure and keeps Tabby's transactional and analytical databases reliable, performant, and recoverable across payment flows, risk pipelines, marketplace services, and the data platform.
This internship is not educational by default. It is an engineering role with real responsibility.
Context
Database Engineers at Tabby own the operational health of our primary data stores. The core stack is built around PostgreSQL, alongside analytical and distributed databases. The team works on performance tuning, schema and migration review, replication and high availability, backup and recovery, capacity planning, observability, and incident response, and collaborates closely with product, platform, risk, and data engineering teams.
The internship is designed for strong early-career engineers who want to grow as database practitioners. Interns are embedded with the DBA group, work on real production tasks under senior review, and are expected to meet engineering standards from day one.
