How do we ensure database performance, availability and security in a hyper-growth environment? What are efficient ways/best practices to operate critical and large database systems?

Database Reliability Engineers (DBRE) are responsible for keeping database systems that support all user-facing services and many other Grab production systems running smoothly 24/7/365. DBREs are a blend of database engineering and administration gearheads and software developers that apply sound engineering principles, operational discipline and mature software development and automation, specializing in databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL and MongoDB in particular). In that capacity, DBREs are peers to SREs and bring database expertise to the SRE and Infrastructure teams as well as our engineering teams.

  • Design, build and maintain database infrastructure that allows Grab to scale to assist hundreds of thousands of concurrent users.
  • Support and debug database production issues across services and levels of the stack.
  • Make monitoring and alerting alert on symptoms and SLOs, and not on outages.
  • Document every action so your learnings turn into repeatable actions and then into automation.
  • Review, analyze and implement solutions regarding database administration (e.g., backups, performance tuning)
  • Work with Terraform and other tools to build mature automation (automatic setup new replicas or testing and monitoring of backups).
  • Design and develop specifications for future database requirements including enhancements, upgrades, and capacity planning; evaluate alternatives and make appropriate recommendations.
