📋 Description

• Own cloud database infrastructure, including AlloyDB, Redis, Kafka, capacity planning, database vendor management, commitment/CUD strategy, and spend accountability. • Support identity and access modernization, including migration to a modern identity platform, high-risk access limits, and an emergency break-glass mechanism. • Own data lifecycle and strategy, including data aging, archiving, and retention over a multi-year cycle. • Contribute to a database observability framework covering logging, metrics, and actionable alerting. • Lead high-availability operations for peak live events through on-call design, war-room readiness, staffing plans, and vendor escalation coordination. • Own the data side of business continuity and disaster recovery planning and execution. • Partner with Infrastructure on shared infrastructure, caching, messaging/queues, and application/data infrastructure boundaries. • Maintain database security and compliance, including vulnerability remediation, edge security, access controls, compliance, and audits. • Manage database vendor relationships and contracts, including budget ownership and negotiation. • Build and grow the team, develop technical leads, delegate ownership, and build redundancy for critical work. • Represent DBRE in cross-functional planning for feature launches, load testing, and migrations. • Balance KTLO work with productivity investments and prioritize a multi-quarter infrastructure roadmap.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years managing database, DevOps, or SRE teams, ideally for a consumer product with real-time, high-concurrency, or seasonal/event-driven traffic patterns. • Deep hands-on background in cloud infrastructure (GCP strongly preferred; AWS or similar also relevant), relational and non-relational databases (AlloyDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB), and infrastructure-as-code (Crossplane, Cuelang, Terraform, Ansible, or similar). • Experience running identity/access management programs and modern observability/monitoring stacks, and building incident management practices that hold up under real pressure. • A track record of managing cloud cost and vendor relationships, committed-use/reserved capacity strategy, contract negotiation, budget ownership. • Solid grounding in security best practices and compliance requirements relevant to a fast-moving consumer platform. • A demonstrated ability to mentor technical leads and delegate effectively; you view management as a way to support and empower your team. • Excellent communication skills and the judgment to flag risk early rather than let it surface as a surprise. • Experience in a technology startup environment is a strong plus. • Relevant DevOps, Cloud, or SRE certifications are a plus. • Must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S.; PrizePicks is unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa.
