📋 Description

• Own database liaison responsibility for a portfolio of production PostgreSQL/RDS instances — query review, schema change approval, performance tuning, and incident triage for the teams built on top of them. • Operate and evolve our Kafka/MSK streaming platform: topic lifecycle management via GitOps, cluster health across environments, and CDC (Debezium) pipeline reliability. • Build and maintain self-service tooling that lets product teams provision database and streaming resources without a manual ticket queue. • Drive platform stability projects — operator/version upgrades, root-cause fixes for recurring operational issues, and proactive capacity/cost optimization across the database and streaming fleet. • Act as the technical escalation point for cross-team incidents where the root cause traces back to shared data infrastructure (replication lag, connection exhaustion, CPU/throughput issues). • Represent Platform Storage in cross-org infrastructure initiatives and standardization efforts. • Mentor engineers and participate in on-call rotations.

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in platform, infrastructure, or database engineering, with deep hands-on production experience running PostgreSQL (RDS) at scale. • Strong experience operating Kafka (MSK or self-managed) in production, including topic management and CDC/event-streaming pipelines. • Strong SQL fluency — comfortable diagnosing query performance issues and reviewing schema changes for teams you don't sit inside of. • Infrastructure as Code expertise (Terraform). • Experience owning production database reliability across multiple downstream teams simultaneously — able to prioritize across a portfolio, not just one system. • Strong cross-team communicator; this role is equal parts infrastructure engineering and technical partnership with the teams you support.
