We are looking for a Database Engineer with a platform mindset to join our Infrastructure department. In this role, you will move beyond managing tickets or manually tuning SQL queries. You will be a force multiplier and an enabler focused on reliability and scalability, codifying deep database expertise into tools, modules, and platforms that make database management and observability effortless for product engineers. You will build the "Golden Paths" that allow developers to spin up, scale, and monitor databases autonomously, ensuring safety, security, and best practices by default.

The Mission: Make "The Right Way" the "Easy Way" You will abstract the complexity of our data layer. When a developer needs a database, they shouldn’t need to be an expert in AWS parameter groups or replication lag—your tools should handle that complexity for them.

• Build Self-Service Tooling: Design and develop internal platform capabilities (using Terraform and automation scripts) that allow engineers to provision and manage their own data resources. Turn complex infrastructure requirements into simple, declarative interfaces for developers.
• Embed Knowledge into Code: Shift left your database expertise. Write automation that applies best practices for indexing, schema design, and security configurations, effectively embedding your knowledge into the platform.
• Democratize Observability: Create out-of-the-box observability. Build systems in which databases are preconfigured with the right dashboards, SLIs/SLOs, and alerts in Datadog, making performance visibility automatic.
• Automate Guardrails: Implement automated checks and policy-as-code (e.g., OPA, Terraform Sentinel) to prevent dangerous operations while enabling safe fast development.
• Evolve the Stack: Architect and maintain core data infrastructure codebases for AWS RDS (Postgres+MySQL), OpenSearch, ElastiCache and DynamoDB.
• Educate & Enable: Act as a consultant to engineering teams, promoting database literacy and helping teams leverage the platform you build.

• Cloud & IaC: AWS, Terraform (Advanced usage)
• Scripting/Coding: Python, Go, Bash
• Data Stores: RDS Postgres, RDS MySQL, DynamoDB, OpenSearch, ElastiCache
• Observability: Datadog
• Orchestration: GitLab CI, Kubernetes

• You have at least 3+ years of experience in Database Engineering and Infrastructure, specializing in design, automation, and optimization of distributed data stores.
• Enabler: You derive satisfaction from making others more productive.
• Automation First: You automate manual tasks with scripts or tools.
• AI First Mindset: You focus on leveraging AI to drive efficiency and innovation.
• Communication: You can explain complex database constraints to developers and communicate effectively with stakeholders regarding incidents, changes, and projects.

• Key moment to join Aircall in terms of growth and opportunities
• People matter; work-life balance is important at Aircall
• Fast-learning environment, entrepreneurial spirit, and strong team
• 45+ nationalities; cosmopolitan and multicultural mindset
