  • Implement and manage Change Data Capture (CDC) and logical replication setups to achieve near-zero downtime cutovers.
  • Work with customer data teams to ensure pre-migration schema and data validation, and post-migration performance tuning.
  • Develop automated scripts and tools (in partnership with the Platform Engineering team) to simplify common migration tasks like snapshot creation and failover testing.
  • Provide expert guidance on database security, high availability (HA), and disaster recovery (DR) configurations within the DigitalOcean cloud environment.

What We'll Expect From You :

  • 6+ years of hands-on experience as a DBA, Database Engineer, or Data Migration Specialist.
  • Deep production experience with at least two of the following : Postgres, MySQL, or MongoDB.
  • Expertise in replication technologies and techniques for minimizing data drift and ensuring data fidelity across platforms.
  • Familiarity with cloud-native managed database services and common migration tools.
  • Strong scripting skills (Python or Bash) for automation, monitoring, and validation tasks.
  • Exceptional attention to detail and a customer-first mindset regarding data security and integrity.
  • Compensation Range :

  • $154,000 - $192,500
