About the Role

Architect Dell's global PostgreSQL platform strategy and build autonomous tooling for self-healing database operations across thousands of instances. Collaborate with global database engineering pods to define Kubernetes-native deployment standards, mentor database engineers, and represent Postgres platform requirements in executive planning and vendor negotiations.

Responsibilities

• Architect and lead PostgreSQL platform strategy across Dell's global fleet, including HA design, disaster recovery, security hardening, and performance baselines for thousands of instances.
• Design and implement Postgres-on-Kubernetes at scale using operators (CloudNativePG/Patroni), storage architecture, multi-region failover, and observability integration.
• Build agentic/autonomous tooling for self-healing failover, automated VACUUM/analyze scheduling, and predictive capacity alerts using LLM-augmented logic.
• Author Infrastructure-as-Code modules using Ansible.
• Mentor engineers through weekly architecture reviews and represent Postgres requirements in planning and vendor negotiations.

Requirements

• 10–14 years of IT infrastructure or platform engineering experience, or 7+ years with exceptional depth demonstrated through production scale, open-source contributions, or published work.
• 6+ years of production PostgreSQL at scale, including partitioning, logical replication, connection pooling (PgBouncer), WAL tuning, Patroni, and pgBackRest.
• 3+ years of Kubernetes for stateful workloads, including operators, persistent storage design, backup/restore in K8s, and multi-cluster patterns.
• 3+ years building automation frameworks in Python, Go, or Bash, focusing on authoring infrastructure.
• Proven track record of designing and developing Database as a service.
• pgVector production experience with high-dimension embedding workloads (RAG, semantic search).
• Experience with agentic coding or LLM-augmented operations, such as self-healing scripts, natural-language-to-query interfaces, or autonomous remediation.
• Contributions to PostgreSQL ecosystem open-source projects (patches, extensions, operators, or tooling).
