About the Role
Rumble Cloud is building a DBaaS platform that makes reliable, high-performance databases available to internal teams and customers. As a Senior Platform Engineer (DBaaS), you will own the Kubernetes-based platform that runs managed database workloads on OpenStack, focusing on orchestration, reliability, automation, and security.
Responsibilities
- Own and operate the Kubernetes platform that powers DBaaS, including cluster provisioning, upgrades, capacity planning, and day-to-day reliability.
- Run relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB) as managed stateful workloads on Kubernetes using operators, StatefulSets, and persistent storage, with a focus on HA, backup/restore, and security.
- Integrate DBaaS with the underlying OpenStack infrastructure (Nova, Cinder, Neutron), ensuring networking, storage, and compute resources are configured correctly for multi-tenant database workloads.
- Design and implement automation and infrastructure-as-code for the platform using tools such as Terraform, Ansible, and Python/Bash, covering provisioning, configuration, upgrades, and lifecycle management.
- Build and maintain observability for DBaaS using Prometheus, Grafana, and related tools, including metrics, logs, alerts, and dashboards that surface health and performance of both Kubernetes and database workloads.
- Develop and document runbooks, SRE practices, and incident response procedures for DBaaS, and participate in on-call rotations as a senior escalation point.
- Work with database architects and application teams to define SLIs/SLOs, capacity and performance expectations, and safe change-management processes for database schemas and platform upgrades.
- Implement and enforce security best practices across the platform, including RBAC, network policies, encryption at rest and in transit, secrets management, and access controls for multi-tenant environments.
- Collaborate with early customers and internal stakeholders to understand their requirements, support onboarding to DBaaS, and guide them in using the platform effectively.
- Continuously improve the platform by identifying reliability, performance, and usability bottlenecks and delivering iterative enhancements that make DBaaS more robust and easier to operate.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience running production Kubernetes clusters at scale, including cluster operations, upgrades, and troubleshooting.
- Experience operating stateful workloads on Kubernetes (operators, StatefulSets, storage classes, persistent volumes, backup and restore workflows).
- Working experience with at least one relational database engine such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MariaDB in a production environment.
- Strong skills in automation and infrastructure-as-code, using tools such as Terraform, Ansible, and scripting languages (Python and/or Bash).
- Solid understanding of Linux systems, networking fundamentals, and security concepts in cloud-native environments.
- Ability to debug complex issues that span Kubernetes, storage, networking, and database workloads, and to communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Experience running Kubernetes on OpenStack, including Nova, Cinder, and Neutron, or similar private cloud platforms.
- Background operating a DBaaS or large-scale, multi-tenant database platform where reliability and isolation are critical.
- Familiarity with Ceph storage, OVN/OVS networking, and observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, or Zabbix.
- Experience building SRE practices for platform services, including SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, and incident postmortems.
- Comfort working in high-growth, mission-critical infrastructure environments where priorities can evolve quickly.
