Senior Database Reliability Engineers (DBRE) keep database systems that support all user-facing services and many other Grab production systems running smoothly 24/7/365. DBREs are a blend of database engineering and software developers. They apply sound engineering principles, operational discipline, and mature software development and automation (with Agentive AI capabilities).
They specialize in databases, such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Vector databases. In that capacity, DBREs are peers to SREs and bring database expertise to the SRE and Infrastructure teams and our engineering teams.
The Day-to-Day Activities
- You will implement best practices across supported datastores ( MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Vector databases).
- Improve the end-to-end platformization of the database lifecycle to support feature-ready agentic workflows.
- Transform database platform self-service capabilities into reusable APIs for cross-platform integration.
- Enhance database reliability and performance across Grab while partnering with application teams to ship solutions.
- Improve database observability through metric tracking, anomaly detection, and preventive automated actions.
- Collaborate across platform and application engineering teams to safely deploy production changes and reduce database-related incidents.
- Provide database expertise to engineering teams through schema migration reviews, query optimization,
and performance tuning solutions.
- Automate database infrastructure and empower engineering teams by delivering self-service tools.
- Improve database client library, connection pooling, stability, scalability, capacity planning, and performance tuning for Grabs infrastructure.
- Develop database infrastructure that can scale to support hundreds of thousands of concurrent users.
- Build the best High Availability (HA) and Business Continuity / Disaster Recovery (BC/DR) solutions.
- Participate in an on-call rotation to support database production issues across services.
The Must-Haves
- At least 6 years of experience running MySQL/PostgreSQL databases in large Environments
- Knowledge in infrastructure automation (Python Programming)
- Awareness of cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP)
- Experience with SQL
- Experience with Linux
- Experience with reliable and secure systems management practices.
- Knowledge of data modelling and data structure design skills.
- Experience with AI and Agenting AI capabilities to enhance the automation and platform features.
