Job description
Title: Database Engineer
Job Type: Contract (W2 Only)
Contract Length: 6 months
Pay Range: $75 - $80/hr
Start Date: ASAP
Location: Onsite - Foster City, CA

About the Opportunity:

Our client, a leader in Automotive Technology, is looking for a skilled Database Engineer to join their team for a 6 months engagement. This project involves designing, building, and operating scalable, secure data stores that power their applications and analytics, using AWS and infrastructure-as-code. This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

Key Responsibilities & Deliverables:

This role is focused on the successful completion of specific tasks and deliverables. Your responsibilities will include:
  • Design and develop efficient, scalable database solutions aligned to business requirements.
  • Install, configure, and upgrade database software and related tooling.
  • Monitor performance and optimize queries, indexes, and schemas for reliability and speed.
  • Implement and maintain database security controls to protect sensitive data.
  • Manage and support AWS database infrastructure (e.g., RDS/Aurora/Redshift).
Required Skills & Experience:

We are looking for someone with a proven track record of successful contract engagements. The ideal candidate will have:
  • Proven experience as a Database Engineer/DBA.
  • Deep expertise in DBMSs (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Redshift). This isn't a learning role—you need to be a subject matter expert.
  • Strong understanding of AWS and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for database resources.
  • Proficiency in SQL and query optimization, and a solid grasp of data modeling, normalization, and schema design principles.
  • Hands-on experience with performance tuning, monitoring, and understanding of backup/restore and disaster recovery procedures.
  • Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage your own time effectively to meet project goals.
  • Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills to collaborate with application developers on schema designs and SQL.
W2 only (No C2C or contractors)
