Job summary

Webbing is seeking a Senior DBA & Bulk Data Management Engineer to own the database platforms underpinning its multi-site telecoms platform. You will manage core PostgreSQL clusters, ensure DR and data governance, and extend ownership to network-element databases across HSS, OCS, PCRF, and SMSC.

The role spans hands-on DB engineering, bulk data management, and governance, with a strong emphasis on reliability and policy adherence.

Qualifications

• Strong hands-on PostgreSQL administration: installation, configuration, replication (logical/streaming), upgrade, and vacuum tuning
• Proven backup and restore experience: pg_dump, pg_basebackup, WAL archiving, point-in-time recovery, and DR testing
• Query performance analysis: EXPLAIN/ANALYZE, index design (B-Tree, partial, composite)
• Bulk data operations: large COPY/INSERT loads, logical replication for live migrations, automated purge/archival pipelines
• Data governance: retention, archival, masking, and access-control policies
• Scripting in Python or Bash for automation of backup jobs, health-check scripts, and bulk-load utilities
• Experience with containerized database deployments (Docker / Kubernetes)
• Monitoring: Prometheus postgres_exporter, Grafana dashboards for KPIs
• High-availability patterns: replication failover, connection pooling (PgBouncer / Pgpool), read-replica routing
• Ability to work independently across multiple concurrent projects in a distributed, async-first team.
• Multi-datacenter replication and active-passive failover between geographically distributed clusters

Responsibilities

• Own database infrastructure spanning core BSS/OSS/NOC modules and PostgreSQL stores
• Maintain interfaces to vendor-managed databases in HSS, OCS, PCRF, SMSC, and PGW
• Design and enforce data-retention, archival, and GDPR-compliant policies
• Build and maintain DR playbooks, runbooks, and incident response procedures
• Develop monitoring dashboards and alerting for replication lag, space, and performance
• Create upgrade and deployment playbooks for PostgreSQL instances as the platform expands
• Oversee cross-platform data integration between BSS mediation and network-element databases
