Location flexibility includes hybrid remote options in the USA (Austin office available); onsite interviews

Qualifications

• 8+ years in database engineering/administration, including 3+ years operating more than one database technology in production.
• Influencing architecture or product decisions involving data, not just operating systems designed by others.
• Deep expertise in at least one relational engine with working fluency in NoSQL caching.
• Experience with time-series data stores and data warehouse platforms (Redshift, Snowflake, BigQuery, or similar).
• Strong cloud-native experience (AWS preferred) — RDS/Aurora, managed NoSQL, IAM, encryption, networking for data services.
• Proficiency in scripting/automation and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation).
• Track record of debugging developer-facing environment issues, not just production incidents.
• Strong troubleshooting using logs, metrics, and query analysis across varied storage engines.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, able to represent the data domain in cross-functional architecture discussions.

Responsibilities

• Own architectural and lifecycle decisions for the data domain, including technology selection, deprecation, capacity planning, and long-term platform direction.
• Design, operate, and evolve database platforms across multiple technologies: relational, time-series stores and data warehouse systems.
• Partner with Architecture and Engineering on product decisions that touch data — schema design, access patterns, scalability tradeoffs — early in design.
• Debug and resolve environment and developer-experience issues across database tooling, provisioning, and local/CI data infrastructure.
• Collaborate with Architecture on expanding the technology footprint of the data platform — evaluating and onboarding new database and storage technologies as product needs evolve.
• Maintain overall health of database environments: performance, availability, disaster recovery, backup/retention, and security controls across the estate.
• Optimize performance, indexing, query plans, and storage/compute configuration across heterogeneous data stores.
• Automate provisioning, backup, and lifecycle management; integrate database changes into CI/CD.
• Lead migrations, version upgrades, and technology transitions with minimal disruption.
• Maintain audit logs, schema versioning, and change tracking for regulatory traceability (SOC 2, FedRAMP, HIPAA as applicable).
• Document architecture decisions, operational runbooks, and platform standards for both technical and non-technical audiences.
