- Drive implementation of best practices in schema design, indexing, query optimization, and database tuning.
- Take initiative in root cause analysis and resolution of complex performance and availability issues.
- Implement and maintain backup, recovery, and disaster recovery procedures; contribute to testing and continuous improvement of these systems.
- Ensure system health through robust monitoring, alerting, and observability using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and CloudWatch.
- Implement and improve automation for provisioning, scaling, maintenance, and monitoring tasks using scripting (e.g., Python, Bash).
Database Security & Compliance :
- Enforce database security best practices, including encryption at-rest and in-transit, IAM / RBAC, and audit logging.
- Support data governance and compliance efforts related to SOC 2, ISO 27001, or other regulatory standards.
- Collaborate with the security team on regular vulnerability assessments and hardening initiatives.
DevOps & Collaboration :
- Partner with DevOps and Engineering teams to integrate database operations into CI / CD pipelines using tools like Liquibase, Flyway, or custom scripting.
- Participate in infrastructure-as-code workflows (e.g., Terraform) for consistent and scalable DB provisioning and configuration.
- Proactively contribute to cross-functional planning, deployments, and system design sessions with engineering and product teams.
Required Skills & Experience :
- 4 - 6 years of production experience managing relational and NoSQL databases in cloud-native environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
Proficiency in :
- Relational Databases : PostgreSQL and / or MySQL.
- NoSQL Databases : MongoDB (exposure to Cassandra or DynamoDB is a plus).
- Deep hands-on experience in performance tuning, query optimization, and troubleshooting live systems.
- Strong scripting ability (e.g., Python, Bash) for automation of operational tasks.
- Experience in implementing monitoring and alerting for distributed systems using Grafana, Prometheus, or equivalent cloud-native tools.
- Understanding of security and compliance principles and how they apply to data systems.
- Ability to operate with autonomy while collaborating in fast-paced, cross-functional teams.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
Nice to Have (Bonus) :
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform, Pulumi, etc.) for managing database infrastructure.
- Familiarity with Kafka, Airflow, or other data pipeline tools.
- Experience working in multi-region or multi-cloud environments with high availability requirements.
- Exposure to analytics databases (e.g., Druid, ClickHouse, BigQuery, Vertica Db) or search platforms like Elasticsearch.
- Participation in on-call rotations and contribution to incident response processes.
