About the role

  • Design, implement, and validate disaster recovery architectures for relational, NoSQL, and managed data services across AWS, Azure, or GCP
  • Plan and execute database migration cutovers including blue-green database swaps, read-replica promotion, and zero-downtime schema migration workflows
  • Architect replication topologies (cross-region, cross-account, active-passive, active-active) and validate RPO/RTO targets through runbook-driven DR drills
  • Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code for data platform provisioning (RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB, ElastiCache, Redshift, managed Kafka/MSK, etc.) using Terraform, Atlantis, and/or CloudFormation
  • Design backup, snapshot, and point-in-time recovery strategies with automated validation and alerting
  • Develop automation tooling for data platform operations: failover orchestration, health checks, capacity scaling, and credential rotation
  • Implement observability for data infrastructure—replication lag monitoring, connection pool health, query performance baselines, and storage growth forecasting
  • Support production workload migrations including data tier cutovers with rollback plans and data integrity verification
  • Contribute to multi-tenant Kubernetes platform operations where data services intersect (e.g., External Secrets Operator for DB credentials, sidecar patterns for connection pooling)
  • Participate in regular customer and internal EverOps scrums, providing data architecture guidance and operational status
  • Document runbooks, architecture decision records (ADRs), and operational playbooks for data platform operations

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional experience as a DevOps Engineer, Data Platform Engineer, Database Reliability Engineer, or Site Reliability Engineer with a data infrastructure focus
  • Deep hands-on experience designing and operating disaster recovery architectures for production databases (failover, replication, backup/restore, cross-region DR)
  • Production experience planning and executing database cutover workflows—blue-green database swaps, read-replica promotions, DMS-based migrations, and zero-downtime schema changes
  • Strong experience with AWS managed data services: RDS/Aurora (Multi-AZ, Global Database, cross-region replicas), DynamoDB (Global Tables, PITR, on-demand backup), ElastiCache, Redshift, and/or MSK
  • Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform + Atlantis and/or CloudFormation) for data platform provisioning and lifecycle management
  • Hands-on experience and deep understanding of Linux
  • Strong professional experience with at least one of: Python, Golang, Bash, or Rust for automation and tooling
  • Production experience with Amazon EKS including understanding of how data workloads intersect with Kubernetes (StatefulSets, PVCs, External Secrets Operator, connection pooling)
  • Experience with HashiCorp Vault for secrets management, particularly database credential rotation and dynamic secrets
  • Understanding of GitOps workflows, repository structures, and governance patterns
  • Experience with CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, etc.
  • Experience with monitoring tools such as Datadog, Splunk, ELK, or Prometheus/Grafana—specifically for data infrastructure observability (replication lag, connection health, query latency)
  • Relational database experience with PostgreSQL or MySQL including operational knowledge of replication, failover, and performance tuning
  • NoSQL experience with at least one of: DynamoDB, Cassandra, or MongoDB including understanding of consistency models and partition strategies
