- Define schema design standards, sharding strategies, indexing approaches, data lifecycle management, and capacity planning.
Production Reliability & Operations
- Own 24x7 production database operations with accountability for uptime, reliability, and SLA compliance.
- Diagnose and resolve complex database incidents, execute failovers, recovery activities, root-cause analysis, and business continuity procedures.
- Lead rolling upgrades, patching, migrations, and maintenance with minimal or zero downtime.
Performance & Optimization
- Analyze query patterns, design optimal indexes, tune aggregation pipelines, and eliminate bottlenecks.
- Monitor performance metrics and drive continuous improvements using profiler, explain plans, Atlas tools, and observability platforms.
- Optimize high-volume databases containing millions of records and heavy workloads.
Security & Reliability
- Implement RBAC, TLS/SSL, encryption, LDAP integration, auditing, backup, recovery, and disaster recovery strategies.
- Ensure enterprise-grade database security, resilience, and operational governance.
Leadership & Collaboration
- Define database best practices, review data models, and provide technical leadership.
- Mentor junior engineers and collaborate with development, platform, SRE, and DevOps teams.
Required Qualifications
- 8–12 years of database engineering, DBRE, DBA, or related experience.
- 5+ years of hands-on MongoDB production support experience.
- Deep expertise in replica sets, sharding, Atlas, replication, failover, query tuning, and aggregation framework.
- Strong PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch administration and performance tuning experience.
- Experience managing databases supporting enterprise SaaS applications and millions of records.
- Cloud experience on Azure, AWS, or GCP and strong Linux administration skills.
- Programming experience in .NET, Java, Python, JavaScript/Node.js, or similar technologies.
