The company is committed to providing safe, reliable, and compliant financial services with a strong technological infrastructure.

📋 Description

• Design and build the platforms, automation, and AI-driven tooling that power Airwallex's database infrastructure. • Build a unified database observability platform providing real-time visibility into availability, security posture, reliability metrics, and latency. • Design and implement secure interfaces that allow AI agents to safely query and interact with production databases. • Develop AI-powered automation that handles routine DBA tasks reducing manual toil. • Create tooling that enables product engineering teams to provision, configure, scale, and manage Postgres and Redis instances through self-service workflows. • Establish and enforce database best practices across the organization. • Partner with product engineers to diagnose database performance issues, review schema designs, and provide guidance on data modeling and access patterns.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with strong proficiency in backend languages such as Python, Go, Java, or Kotlin. • Deep experience with PostgreSQL — performance tuning, query optimization, replication, backup/recovery, schema design, and operational best practices. • Experience with Redis — data modeling, clustering, persistence strategies, and operational management. • Hands-on experience with GCP (or equivalent cloud provider), infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), Kubernetes, and Docker. • Demonstrated track record of building automation, tooling, or platforms that replaced manual operational work — not just operating databases, but engineering solutions that make operations scalable. • Strong system design skills, with the ability to architect reliable, scalable infrastructure services.
