Production Database Administrator – Global Banking, Payments

• Operate and evolve multi-region CockroachDB clusters and PostgreSQL instances across production, staging, and development.
• Investigate contention, serialization retries (SQLSTATE 40001), and range hotspots in the transaction paths behind bets, wagers, settlements, and payouts.
• Diagnose leaseholder placement, monotonic-key write pressure, and cross-region latency that turn one query into several network round trips.
• Trace a slow query to its execution plan, the plan to optimizer behavior, and the behavior to the schema or application call path that caused it.
• Catch plan regressions after statistics changes, schema changes, data growth, or releases, then turn the fix into a safer rollout pattern.
• Assess schema-change and backfill risk before it reaches large tables: lock behavior, retry pressure, capacity impact, and rollback path.
• Plan capacity, scaling events, and version upgrades that customers don't feel.
• Build database observability with Prometheus, Grafana, Mimir, Loki, and Snowflake: dashboards backed by real queries, alerting on leading indicators, and SLO tracking.
• Connect database symptoms to application behavior and business events so alerts point at causes.
• Join the on-call rota for the data layer, lead incident analysis when the database is part of the failure, and drive blameless postmortems toward durable fixes.
• Instrument the system to surface degradation before it becomes an incident.
• Build Go and Python tools that make incidents easier to understand: log collectors, explain-plan analyzers, migration checks, capacity models, and runbook generators.
• Automate provisioning, configuration, backup, and recovery with Terraform and other infrastructure-as-code tools.
• Work with platform engineering on CI/CD, deployment safety, and change management for database-touching services.
• Use Claude Code, Codex, and similar harnesses in daily work to investigate incidents, generate probes, draft runbooks, and write tooling.
• Keep the harness grounded in logs, traces, metrics, and source code, and verify its output against production facts before you ship it.
• Implement and audit access controls, authentication, authorization, and encryption in transit and at rest.
• Support data-protection, audit-logging, and retention requirements for a regulated gaming platform.
• Build a database center of excellence: documentation, standards, and reusable patterns that other teams build against.
• Mentor engineers on database fundamentals, distributed-systems behavior, and operational discipline.
• Read CockroachDB and PostgreSQL internals when a problem needs a code-level answer, and bring what you learn back to the team.

• As the Platform Database Administrator (DBA) for Aurora, serve as the architectural and operational anchor for high-scale database environments.
• Bridge the gap between technical data layers and production feature engineering.
• Take full ownership of database performance tuning, optimization strategies, and system reliability across core software suites.
• Sustain consistent system performance and reliability across 400+ database schemas, managing comprehensive schema migrations and tracking client-specific data growth metrics.
• Supervise AWS Aurora-specific environments, orchestrating cluster endpoint routing configurations, managing failover behaviors, executing parameter tuning, and troubleshooting data warehouse / read replica lags.
• Apply deep knowledge of InnoDB core internals to manage lock behaviors, resolve complex lock contentions, adjust buffer pool parameters, and systematically reduce purge lags across write-heavy database clusters.
• Diagnose and optimize heavy database pipelines utilizing INSERT...SELECT queries and computed-table patterns.
• Analyze Aurora instance utilization models against pricing factors to right-size compute resources and minimize I/O waste stemming from unoptimized queries.
