You will support a diverse mix of relational and NoSQL databases-including MongoDB-ensuring they are resilient, scalable, and optimized for our data-intensive environment.
How You Will Fulfill Your Potential
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Architect and provision production-grade database clusters (Aurora, RDS, MongoDB/DocumentDB) using Terraform, ensuring modularity and state consistency.
- Database Migrations: Plan and execute complex database migrations (e.g., On-prem to Cloud, or engine conversions) with minimal downtime using tools like AWS DMS (Database Migration Service) or native replication.
- DocumentDB Management: Deploy, secure, and scale MongoDB clusters (Atlas or DocumentDB), optimizing for document structure, indexing strategies, and sharding performance.
- AWS Database Operations: Manage the lifecycle of managed services like Amazon Aurora and DynamoDB, focusing on high availability, backups, and disaster recovery.
- Performance Tuning: Analyze query performance and locking issues across both SQL and NoSQL engines to ensure stability under load.
Required Qualifications
Basic Qualifications
- Cloud Database Engineering: 5+ years of experience engineering AWS database solutions (RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB etc.).
- Strong hands-on experience administering Document databases in a production environment, including index optimization and cluster scaling.
- Proven track record of executing database migrations (heterogeneous or homogeneous) and modernization projects.
- Expertise in writing Terraform for stateful resources (handling lifecycle rules, preventing accidental deletion).
- Ability to write Python scripts for custom automation and migration validation.
Preferred Qualifications
- Familiarity with Apache Airflow and Apache Flink ecosystems (understanding how these tools connect to and stress the database layer).
- Experience managing Apache Cassandra for wide-column storage needs.
- Advanced ability to troubleshoot complex SQL queries and optimize schemas.
