Description

We’re partnering with a highly regarded technology-driven firm seeking a skilled Database Engineer with deep expertise in PostgreSQL. This is a hands-on role within a global team tasked with supporting high-performance, highly available systems.

You’ll play a key role in designing, deploying, and maintaining cross-platform database solutions across a mix of open-source and enterprise technologies.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Engineer for reliability, scale, and performance, with a focus on automation and DevOps principles
  • Design and implement backup, HA, and disaster recovery strategies
  • Tune queries and optimize performance at both the system and code levels
  • Collaborate across multiple internal teams on infrastructure and architecture decisions
  • Leverage scripting (Python, Ruby, or Perl) for automation and operational tasks
  • Own projects from design to deployment within an agile, fast-paced environment

What We’re Looking For:

  • 4+ years of hands-on experience managing PostgreSQL database environments
  • Strong understanding of database internals – indexing, triggers, stored procedures
  • Scripting skills in Python, Ruby, or Perl
  • Familiarity with version control workflows and DevOps methodologies
  • A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience

Why It’s a Great Opportunity:

You’ll join a high-impact team that powers some of the most innovative systems in the industry. If you love infrastructure, automation, and database architecture and want to work in an environment where your ideas matter we’d love to hear from you.
