About the Role

We are seeking a Database Developer with strong expertise in MongoDB and working knowledge of MySQL/Aurora on AWS.

Manage and optimize AWS RDS (MySQL/Aurora) instances, ensuring security, scalability, and cost efficiency.
Support database deployments and orchestration with EKS (Kubernetes).
Collaborate with developers to design efficient data models, queries, and indexing strategies.
Manage database schema versioning and scripts with GitHub and Flyway.
Monitor and tune performance using native tools, AWS CloudWatch, Datadog, and proactively address bottlenecks.
Ensure data integrity, security, compliance, and disaster recovery readiness.
Support migrations and interoperability across different RDBMS platforms.

Required Skills & Experience

3+ years of experience with MongoDB (architecture, design, optimization, and operations).
1-2 years of experience with MySQL (Aurora) development and administration.
Hands-on AWS experience with RDS and/or Aurora.
Familiarity with Kubernetes (EKS) and containerized deployments.
Experience with GitHub-based version control and CI/CD workflows.
Strong skills in database performance tuning, troubleshooting, and query optimization.
Understanding of the software development life cycle (SDLC).
Strong communication and collaboration skills in cross-functional environments.
Knowledge of database security, disaster recovery, and data migration practices.

Nice to Have

Exposure to Infrastructure-as-Code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation).
Experience with CI/CD pipelines for database changes.
Exposure to monitoring, automation, and container orchestration tools (Kubernetes, Docker).
Familiarity with additional AWS services (e.g., Lambda, CloudWatch, IAM).

What You Can Expect

A people-first culture that emphasizes growth, learning, and engineering excellence.
Opportunities to influence database and platform design decisions.
A collaborative and supportive environment with strong cross-team partnerships.
The chance to make a tangible impact on products that directly affect customers worldwide.

Joining us is more than saying "yes" to making the world a healthier place. It's discovering a career that's challenging, supportive and inspiring.
