🚀 About the role

As a Staff Devops Engineer II (DBOps), you are an expert communicator who bridges the gap between schema design, site reliability engineering, and infrastructure automation. You possess deep relational database expertise and are comfortable collaborating cross-functionally across engineering teams to optimize query performance, architecture, and system scalability. You take a high level of ownership over database health, proactively addressing scaling bottlenecks, sharding, and replication Topologies before they impact production. You bring an SRE mindset to continuously improve the observability, efficiency, and disaster recovery posture of core data systems.

Our team is passionate, empathetic, hard working, and above all else focused on improving the lives of our service professionals (our Pros). Our success is their success.

Compensation: 10 000 - 10 700 USD per month (B2B) 

What You'll Do Each Day

• Own the observability, monitoring, and alerting of production database clusters and replication topologies

• Optimize database engine configurations for performance, stability, compliance, and security

• Design scalable database schemas and storage architectures to support high-growth application workloads

• Implement advanced data scaling strategies including sharding, partitioning, and high-availability clustering

• Triage critical production database incidents and establish long-term preventative engineering solutions

• Lead cross-functional initiatives for disaster recovery testing, data classification, and major engine upgrades

• Build cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code to automate deployment pipelines and environmentsCollaborate with software development teams on complex migrations, schema reviews, and query optimization

• Participate in systemic architecture reviews to provide authoritative database engineering expertise

• Automate operational tasks and third-party API integrations using modern scripting languages

Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on experience designing, implementing, and operating relational databases in production, plus 3+ years in DevOps, SRE, or software engineering

• Production-scale expertise with relational technologies (i.e. MySQL, PostgreSQL) including backups, replication topologies, indexing, and partitioning

• Advanced knowledge of database architecture, data modeling, query optimization, and high-availability / backup & recovery solutions

• Extensive experience building cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (i.e. Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi, CDK) within public cloud environments (i.e. AWS)

• Proficiency in programming languages (i.e. Python, Golang) to drive automation and tool integration

• Strong operational familiarity with Linux operating systems, containerization (i.e. Docker), and container orchestrators (i.e. Kubernetes, ECS)

• Hands-on experience with continuous integration and deployment pipelines (i.e. GitLab, TravisCI, CircleCI, Jenkins)

• Demonstrated experience deploying monitoring and observability platforms (i.e. Datadog, New Relic)

• Demonstrated ability to leverage AI tools to improve workflows, streamline execution, or enhance outputs

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent work experience

What Will Help You Succeed

• Exceptional breadth of interest shown through tangible, self-initiated ventures or deep community involvement; you love trying new things and may possess a demonstrated history of successfully pivoting or starting over in life and work

• Strong systems thinking and the ability to balance long-term technical objectives with immediate operational priorities

• Deep technical comfort explaining complex architectural trade-offs, cardinality, data types, and engine execution behaviors to other developers

• A genuine passion for data-driven decision-making and troubleshooting distributed architectures

• Familiarity with data streaming or ETL architectures (i.e. Kafka, Confluent Cloud)
