  • Partner with Engineering, DevOps, and Product teams to ensure database performance, reliability, and data integrity.
  • Lead incident response and RCA (Root Cause Analysis) for any database-related issues and outages.
  • Guide the team on best practices around schema management, indexing strategies, and query performance.
  • Mentor and lead a team of DB Engineers and collaborate cross-functionally with SREs, DevOps, and Cloud Architects.
  • Establish data governance, auditing, and compliance protocols across multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, etc.).
  • Evaluate and implement database observability solutions (Prometheus, Grafana, etc.).
  • Optimize costs through usage monitoring, capacity planning, and right-sizing of cloud-based DB infrastructure.


Skills & Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field.
  • 10+ years of experience in database administration and operations in high-scale production environments.
  • Deep expertise in PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, or similar databases (relational and NoSQL).
  • Proven experience in cloud-native DBOps (AWS RDS/Aurora, Azure SQL, GCP Cloud SQL, etc.).
  • Strong scripting experience (Python, Bash, or Go) and use of automation frameworks (Ansible, Terraform).
  • Exposure to containerization and orchestration (Kubernetes, Helm).
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines for DB changes and automated testing (Liquibase/Flyway).
  • Solid understanding of database security, data masking, encryption, and access control models.
  • Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and technical leadership skills.


Nice to Have

  • Certifications in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Experience with multi-region replication and disaster recovery design
  • Contributions to open-source DB tools or platforms
