Job Type
Full-time
Description
As a Principal Database Engineer, you will set the technical direction for our database platforms and partner with engineering teams to ensure scalability, reliability, security, and cost efficiency. This is not a traditional DBA role. Instead, you will design, build, and automate cloud-native database solutions that power our products and internal systems at scale. You will join our Database Engineering team and act as a senior technical leader, hands-on with architecture and automation, while also mentoring others and influencing how we approach data infrastructure across the company.
What You'll Do
- Own the data platform : Design, implement, and evolve database systems (Aurora, RDS, Redshift, etc.) that meet performance, resiliency, and compliance requirements.
- Automate relentlessly : Build infrastructure-as-code, CI / CD pipelines for database changes, and self-service tooling for developers.
- Enable scalability : Architect solutions that support growth, high availability, and disaster recovery in a multi-account AWS environment.
- Champion observability : Implement monitoring, alerting, and performance tuning strategies to ensure proactive issue detection and resolution.
- Collaborate cross-functionally : Partner with application engineers, cloud engineers, and security to align database practices with organizational goals.
- Drive modernization : Lead the migration from legacy systems to cloud-first platforms, ensuring minimal disruption and long-term maintainability.
- Mentor and guide : Elevate the skills of the Database Engineering team, sharing best practices and setting technical standards.
