About The Team/Role

The team serves as subject matter experts in scaling databases and queues, and helps engineering teams deliver software following best practices and making best use of our internal data distribution systems. The team helps identify problems like hot spots, uneven load distribution, and general performance. The team also provides support for incident response for databases, queues, caching, and change data capture systems.

The QSS team builds software in support of the multi-tenant platform that is fully automated such as tenant management, sharding, change data capture, replication, denormalization, and aggregation. The software provided by the QSS allows Outreach engineering teams to focus on all the business logic around managing and querying data.

• Designing/building Kubernetes operators to automatically manage/provision infrastructure, scaling, deployment coordination, credentials, and upgrades
• Maintaining the reliability and performance aspects for the databases and queues for the Outreach platform
• Designing reusable storage systems for engineering teams to leverage
• Analyzing solutions and implementing best practices for our database clusters and other stateful components
• Prototyping new managed storage/queue solutions and access patterns for new services and feature roadmaps
• Developing solutions for migrating data between systems

• Proactively design and tune monitors/alerts/dashboards to alert on symptoms and not on outages
