  • Stay current on emerging database technologies, patterns, and best practices.

Qualifications:
  • Strong understanding of AWS and IaC for database resources.
  • Proven experience as a Database Engineer/DBA.
  • Deep knowledge of DBMSs (e.G., PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Redshift).
  • Proficiency in SQL and query optimization.
  • Solid grasp of data modeling, normalization, and schema design principles.
  • Hands-on experience with performance tuning and monitoring.
  • Understanding of backup/restore and disaster recovery procedures.
  • Knowledge of database security best practices.
  • Excellent problem-solving, analytical, communication, and collaboration skills.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

Nice to have:
  • AWS networking fundamentals.
  • Experience with Terraform Cloud and IaC workflows.
  • Automation/scripting with Python or Shell.
