Data Architecture and Strategy: Lead the technical design of database topologies, ensuring high availability (HA), replication and disaster recovery are native to all solutions.
Database as a Service (Self-Service): Build automations and standards that allow developers to provision and manage databases securely and autonomously, reducing operational bottlenecks.
Performance Tuning and Optimization: Go beyond basic monitoring by performing deep query analysis (Explain Plan), tuning engine parameters and managing indexes to guarantee minimal latency.
Data Lifecycle Management: Manage backup, retention, archiving and data purging policies, balancing historical needs with cost efficiency (FinOps).
Data Incident Management: Serve as the focal point during database performance or availability crises, leading disaster recovery and conducting technical post-mortems.
Security and Compliance: Ensure protection of sensitive data through encryption (at rest and in transit), data masking and strict access/privilege management.
Mentorship and Data Culture: Promote best practices in data modeling and access patterns across engineering teams to raise the company's development maturity.
Requirements
Relational Database Expertise: Advanced experience administering, troubleshooting and tuning MySQL and PostgreSQL, preferably in mission-critical environments.
Expertise in AWS Data Services: Deep knowledge of AWS RDS and Aurora, including management of instances, read clusters, snapshots and Aurora Serverless.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Experience provisioning databases with Terraform to ensure reproducible, versioned environments.
Data Observability: Define and implement database-focused monitoring strategies (deadlocks, transaction logs, connections, I/O) using tools such as New Relic or Performance Insights.
Automation and Scripting: Strong skills in Shell scripting or Python for automating maintenance routines, data migrations and recurring tasks.
Data Migration: Experience with large-scale migration processes (blue/green database deployments) and migration tools (AWS DMS or similar).
Operating System Knowledge: Linux troubleshooting focused on database performance (I/O scheduler, virtual memory, file systems).
