As a Staff Database Engineer, you will serve as both a system architect and builder. Joining a team of dedicated engineers, you will contribute to the design, automation, and optimization of our PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL, and DynamoDB environments, building modern CI/CD pipelines, automated failovers, and scalable Kafka-based CDC frameworks to ensure stability and real-time data availability.

- 8+ years in database administration (PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL) with strong skills in optimization, security, and access control, including 3+ years managing databases on AWS

- Expert in IaC with Terraform and Git, applying an SDLC approach to infrastructure
- Advanced experience with replication tools like GoldenGate or Debezium
