About Us

We are expanding our database fleet with multiple open-source databases and tooling to optimize processes and best practices for databases.

The Role

  • Automate database infrastructure and provide self-service tools to support engineering success.
  • Plan database growth and manage capacity to support hundreds of thousands of concurrent users.
  • Design, build, and maintain database infrastructure to enable scalability.
  • Support and debug database production issues across services and levels of the stack.
  • Maintain monitoring and alerting that focuses on symptoms and SLOs, rather than outages.
  • Document actions to turn learnings into repeatable actions and automation.
  • Analyze and implement solutions regarding database administration (e.g., backups, performance tuning).
  • Develop specifications for future database requirements, including enhancements, upgrades, and capacity planning.
