- Secure the data layer through encryption, IAM database authentication, and credential rotation
- Contribute to the platform by building reusable Terraform modules for database provisioning
- Participate in on-call rotation, responding to database incidents, and implementing permanent fixes
Requirements
- Strong SQL skills, including complex queries, performance tuning, indexing, and EXPLAIN plans
- Proficiency in AWS services such as RDS Aurora, Secrets Manager, IAM, CloudWatch, VPC networking, and KMS encryption
- Experience with Terraform for writing and maintaining modules, state management, and remote backends
- Proficiency in scripting with Python or Bash for automation and operational tooling

- Comfortable with system-level troubleshooting in production Linux environments
- Familiarity with PostgreSQL, including vacuuming, autovacuum tuning, and replication
- Experience with PgBouncer or RDS Proxy for connection pooling configuration and tuning
- Understanding of Kubernetes and how workloads connect to databases
