Overview

Our Production Services Team is looking for an Engineer

with a strong foundation in database technologies—not just a traditional DBA, but someone who understands how databases fit into a broader system architecture and can collaborate across disciplines to optimize performance, reliability, and scalability.

 

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, deploy, and maintain relational and non-relational database systems.
  • Optimize database performance, indexing, and query execution plans.
  • Develop and maintain SQL scripts, stored procedures, and triggers.
  • Ensure database reliability, availability, and security across Linux-based systems.
  • Perform regular database backups, recovery testing, and disaster recovery planning.
  • Monitor system health and troubleshoot issues related to database performance and connectivity.
  • Collaborate with developers, data analysts, and DevOps teams to support data-driven applications.
  • Automate database maintenance tasks using shell scripting and other tools.

What we’re looking for

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 1-5 years of experience in database engineering or administration.
• Strong proficiency in Linux (shell scripting, system monitoring, cron jobs).
• Advanced knowledge of SQL and experience with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle).
• Familiarity with NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB, Redis) is a plus.
• Experience with database monitoring and performance tuning tools.
• Understanding of data integrity, normalization, and indexing strategies.
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.

Preferred Skills
• Experience with cloud-based database services (AWS RDS, Azure SQL, GCP Cloud SQL).
• Knowledge of database replication, clustering, and high availability setups.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and version control systems (e.g., Git).
• Exposure to data warehousing and ETL processes.
