About the Role

Seeking a skilled engineer with a strong foundation in database technologies and systems engineering; someone who understands how databases fit into broader system architecture and can collaborate across disciplines to drive performance, reliability, and scalability.

What You’ll Do / Key Responsibilities

  • Design, deploy, and maintain relational and non-relational database systems at scale (hundreds of millions to billions of records, TB-scale datasets), including MariaDB, MongoDB, InfluxDB, and ClickHouse.
  • Optimize query performance through advanced indexing strategies, execution plan analysis, and schema design.
  • Develop Python tooling and automation to support database operations, maintenance workflows, and system health.
  • Ensure high availability and reliability through replication, failover design, and disaster recovery planning.
  • Operate confidently in production environments — diagnosing and resolving time-sensitive issues with composure and precision.
  • Manage and scale containerized database workloads using Kubernetes, including ClickHouse deployments.

Requirements & Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.
  • 2-5 years of experience in database engineering, systems engineering, or a related discipline.
  • Strong proficiency in SQL and deep working knowledge of relational databases — complex query manipulation, indexing, partitioning, replication, and high availability.
  • Solid Python development skills — able to write production-quality scripts and tooling.
  • Strong Linux knowledge — shell scripting, process management, system monitoring, and core command-line fluency.

Preferred / Bonus Qualifications (if applicable)

  • Oracle database experience.
  • Preferred Graph database experience (e.g., Neo4j or similar).
  • ProxySQL configuration/routing experience.
  • Infrastructure-as-code experience with Terraform.
  • Working knowledge of AI tools and best practices for engineering workflows.

Benefits & Perks (if applicable)

  • US citizen preferred, but they are open to sponsorship.
