About the role

  • Manage and maintain PostgreSQL instances across development, staging, and production environments.
  • Deep-dive into query optimization, indexing strategies, and schema tuning to keep latency low as we scale.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues including slow queries, locking contention, replication lags, and vertical/horizontal scaling bottlenecks.
  • Design and implement bulletproof backup, restore, and disaster recovery (DR) processes. If the worst happens, you’re the one with the plan.
  • Architect and manage HA clusters and seamless failover strategies to ensure zero-to-minimal downtime.
  • Automate database provisioning, deployments, and routine maintenance using modern CI/CD and configuration management tools.
  • Act as a consultant to our software engineers, helping them design better data models and write more efficient queries from day one.

Requirements

  • Extensive hands-on experience managing PostgreSQL in high-traffic, large-scale production environments.
  • Strong proficiency in Linux internals and experience with cloud ecosystems (AWS RDS/Aurora, GCP Cloud SQL, or Azure Database).
  • Strong scripting skills in Python, Go, or Bash. If you have to do it twice, you’ve already started writing the script to automate it.
  • Experience with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or PGHero to proactively catch issues before they become incidents.
  • DevOps Mindset: You believe in CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/Ansible), and the idea that "hope is not a strategy."
