About the Role

Demandbase is hiring a Staff Database Platform Engineer to lead the evolution of how we manage databases in the cloud. In addition to operating monolithic databases, you’ll build the platforms, automation, and guardrails that empower product teams to provision, run, and monitor their own databases across AWS accounts. This role is about designing the future of database reliability at scale — with automation, observability, and compliance baked in — while still being able to ‘speak DBA’ when it comes to tuning and schema design.

You’ll provide technical leadership to a global DBRE team, drive automation and best practices, and partner with engineering teams to move faster — without compromising on stability.

Automation & Platform

• Build the Database Platform of the Future : Design automation and self-service frameworks for provisioning, scaling, and securing databases across AWS (RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB) and other cloud-native stores.
• Develop Infrastructure-as-Code modules (Terraform, Helm, Gitlab CI / CD) to eliminate manual operations.
• Establish best practices for service-level databases in a microservices architecture (Postgres, MySQL, DynamoDB, etc.).
• Evaluate and guide architectural decisions for large-scale analytical and ETL workloads — helping the company choose the right data technologies (e.g., RDS / Aurora, BigQuery, Iceberg or other cloud-native solutions) to balance performance, cost, and scalability.
• Implement observability solutions (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, OpenSearch) for database health at scale.
