We are looking for a Senior Database Engineer / Reliability Engineer to join a sprint-based DBA squad.

- Design and operationalize data-loss recovery procedures (restore workflows, validation, execution plans)
- Lead database fleet lifecycle management (versions, patching, sizing, standards)
- Improve alerting, observability, incident response, and RCA processes
- Implement secure-by-default database patterns (least privilege, encryption, auditability)
- Build self-service database capabilities to reduce support burden
- Pair daily with internal DBAs to model DBRE practices through observational learning
Skills/Qualifications:
- 10+ years in DBA or DBRE roles
- Hands-on experience with AWS RDS / Aurora
- Strong expertise in Postgres and/or MySQL
- Proven experience executing restores and recovery under pressure
- Comfortable working in agile teams (standups, sprints, shared backlog)
- Automation-first mindset
