Are you an expert at optimizing Cassandra for speed, reliability, and resilience? Do you excel at designing and scaling high-performance distributed databases? Were seeking a seasoned architect to play a key role in designing and maintaining robust database environments and leading integration initiatives across platforms. In this role, youll be at the forefront of building high-performing, scalable, and secure systems that support seamless data exchange leveraging APIs, event-driven flows, and real-time messaging. Your contributions will power automation, performance, and data-driven decision-making across the enterprise. What You'll Do Database Architecture & Operations: Architect, deploy, and monitor distributed database clusters (MySQL, Cassandra, MongoDB, PostgreSQL), ensuring high availability and performance. Perform advanced tuning, query optimization, and proactive issue resolution. Design and implement strategies for database backup, replication, disaster recovery, and data lifecycle management. Support MySQL systems for operational scalability and enterprise-level performance. Enterprise Integration & EDI Framework: Lead and support a robust EDI/EI framework to integrate backend systems through real-time APIs and asynchronous data pipelines. Standardize data contracts, routing logic, transformation processes, and messaging patterns across systems and partners. Replace legacy batch processing with scalable, event-based integrations using messaging frameworks (e.g., Kafka). API & Event-Driven Architecture: Design and optimize RESTful APIs and event-based services to enable real-time data exchange across internal and third-party systems. Build and manage ETL data flows into microservices or message queues abstracting from underlying source technologies. Data Pipeline Optimization & Automation: Identify bottlenecks in data pipelines and drive performance improvements through modeling and intelligent automation. Use AI/ML where applicable to structure unstructured data and enhance automation in transformation, reporting, and alerting workflows. Cloud & DevOps Enablement: Architect and manage cloud-native database deployments on AWS, Azure, or GCP using automation tools (Terraform, Ansible). Collaborate with DevOps teams to integrate database schema/version control and data integration into CI/CD pipelines. Ensure secure, compliant, and cost-optimized cloud architecture. Enterprise Programs & Collaboration: Contribute to strategic initiatives such as the NexGen Program, ensuring that database and integration designs align with performance, scalability, and long-term architectural goals. Work closely with application architects, developers, and QA teams to co-design and review data-driven solutions. What Youll Need Bachelors Degree in Computer Science or a related field. 8–10 years of experience in database architecture, administration, and integrations. Proven hands-on experience with Cassandra DB, MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL. Certifications in database management or NoSQL databases are preferred. Expertise in database setup, performance tuning, and issue resolution. Strong knowledge of SQL/CQL, data modeling, and distributed systems architecture. Hands-on experience with multi-data-center deployments and monitoring tools such as New Relic. Experience in scripting and automation (Python, Java, Bash, Ansible). Experience managing Cassandra in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure). Familiarity with DevOps practices, containerization tools (Docker/Kubernetes), and data streaming platforms (Kafka, Spark). Experience standardizing enterprise integration approaches across business units. Solid understanding of data privacy, security, and regulatory compliance.
