We are looking for a Sr Database Engineer to own the day-to-day operation of our database estate. Our production services run on MongoDB and Amazon DocumentDB, with PostgreSQL and DynamoDB alongside them, and our reporting data lands in Apache Iceberg tables on S3 that we query through Amazon Redshift. You will be the owner of everything that keeps that estate healthy and moving: pre-deployment migrations, upgrades, query performance, customer data requests, backup and recovery, and incident response.
This is an operations-first role.



You will work alongside our senior database architect, who leads our data platform projects, and take full ownership of the run work so the whole team can move faster. We want someone who thinks before they change something: you read the release notes before a MongoDB upgrade and know which application queries it could break, and you find the slow query and fix the index before a customer notices. This is an on-call role.

Key Responsibilities

• Own day-to-day operations across MongoDB, Amazon DocumentDB, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, and Amazon Redshift, including health checks, capacity, connections, and storage growth.
• Plan and execute database version upgrades, assessing driver compatibility, deprecated features, and query behavior changes against application code before anything reaches production.
• Find and fix slow queries by profiling workloads and reading explain plans, then design, add, or retire indexes based on
