📋 Description

• Build and maintain the Structured Record Access API layer: the abstraction between engineering teams and the managed Postgres and DynamoDB fleet across all production regions • Implement and operate Kafka-based semantic event emission from the SRS abstraction layer, replacing raw CDC stream consumption downstream • Contribute to the schema catalog and runtime connection management service, giving teams consistent metadata access without environment-specific configuration • Write code-first schema migrations with mandatory test coverage and validated rollback, deployed via the database platform API • Build developer tooling and SDKs that reduce per-team provisioning and schema management toil • Continuously assess cloud platform needs across the SRS fleet, identify risks and gaps before they become incidents • Drive improvements in capacity management, monitoring/alerting, query tuning, load optimization, and data replication for reporting workloads • Create and institutionalize best practices and health models across the database fleet, using observability tooling and AWS automation to enforce standards consistently • Consult directly with engineering teams and group leads on storage readiness and risk • Build a network of storage champions across the division to distribute expertise and raise the floor on database hygiene • Curate training opportunities for engineering teams in database technologies and management • Provide tactical support during production emergencies

🎯 Requirements

• 3+ years of backend software engineering in a distributed systems or platform context • 3+ years of Kubernetes architecture at scale • 5+ years of Terraform experience • 5+ years of experience with cloud data technologies • Strong hands-on experience with Postgres or DynamoDB: schema design, query optimization, migrations • ORM experience in a backend platform context, particularly patterns that intercept entity state changes to drive semantic event emission • Exposure to event streaming (Kafka, Kinesis, or equivalent) in a production system • Experience building and operating APIs in AWS: REST or gRPC, not just consumption • Proficiency in Python, Go, or Java; fluency in one and willingness to work in others is acceptable • Comfortable operating in a multi-region, multi-partition AWS environment • Strong communication and organizational skills

🏖️ Benefits

• Annual cash bonuses • Commissions for sales roles • Stock grants • Comprehensive benefits package
