Vertafore is seeking a Cloud Database Architect to own the end-to-end architecture, technical strategy, and evolution of our Oracle and PostgreSQL platforms across AWS and hybrid environments. This role is accountable for defining reference architectures, driving standardization and automation, improving resilience and observability, and enabling scalable, cost-productive database foundations for Tier-1 workloads.

This is a hybrid design authority as well as operations role. You will partner with Engineering, SRE, DBA and Platform teams to modernize how data platforms are built and run, and you will guide key decisions such as RDS vs RDS Custom vs EC2, HA/DR patterns, replication strategy, and scaling models.

Key Outcomes (What Success Looks Like)

· Published and adopted database reference architectures for Oracle and PostgreSQL on AWS.

· High-confidence HA/DR designs with validated RPO/RTO, predictable failover behavior, and tested runbooks.

· Terraform-based Infrastructure as Code standards enabling repeatable provisioning and safe change control.





· Improved operational signal quality (SLOs, actionable alerting) and measurable MTTR reduction.

· Cost-optimized platforms with clear ownership of cost efficiency and licensing implications on AWS.

Core Responsibilities

· Define and maintain reference architectures for Oracle and PostgreSQL across AWS (RDS, RDS Custom, EC2) and hybrid deployments.

· Lead architecture reviews and make design decisions for HA/DR, replication, scaling, security, and data lifecycle patterns.

· Own decision frameworks for when managed services are sufficient vs when EC2-level control is required (visibility, compliance, performance, and operational needs).

· Drive modernization initiatives such as read scaling for reporting, workload isolation, and controlled retention/archival strategies.

· Define migration and replication patterns (including CDC) using AWS DMS/SCT and other fit-for-purpose tooling.

· Partner with engineering t
