Experience:
5+ years Start Date: Immediate Job Summary: Owision is seeking an experienced Database Reliability Engineer (DBRE) to own the reliability, performance, scalability, and automation of our MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle database fleet across on-premises and multi-cloud platforms (AWS, OCI, Azure). Operating at the intersection of DBA, SRE, and Platform Engineering, you will treat databases as code, eliminate operational toil, and build self-healing, highly available, and observable data platforms that power mission-critical services.

Key Responsibilities
• Define, monitor, and enforce SLOs, SLIs, and SLAs for database availability, latency, durability, and error budgets across all production tiers.
• Architect, maintain, and continuously validate High Availability (HA) configurations, clustering, replication topologies, and automated failover mechanisms.
• Lead database incident management, participate in on-call rotations, and conduct blameless Root Cause Analyses (RCAs) to implement permanent preventive engineering solutions.
• Design, automate, and regularly test Disaster Recovery (DR) and Business Continuity plans to guarantee strict RPO and RTO targets.
• Treat databases as code by automating provisioning, scaling, patching, backups, and zero-downtime schema migrations using Python, Bash, Terraform, and Ansible.
• Build and maintain internal Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) self-service tools and CI/CD automation pipelines for engineering teams.
• Conduct deep query optimization, indexing strategies, capacity planning, and engine-level tuning (InnoDB, PostgreSQL autovacuum, Oracle AWR/ASH).




• Build end-to-end monitoring, alerting, and telemetry dashboards using PMM, Grafana, Datadog, CloudWatch, and Zabbix.
• Enforce database security by design, including encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access control, auditing, compliance, and data governance policies. Required

Qualifications:
• 4–6+ years of hands-on experience as a DBRE, SRE, or Systems DBA managing large-scale, production database environments.
• Strong SRE mindset with practical experience managing SLOs/SLIs, error budgets, incident response workflows, and post-mortem practices.
• Deep production expertise in MySQL and PostgreSQL internals, alongside solid working knowledge of Oracle Core (RMAN, Data Guard, OEM, RAC basics).
• Proven hands-on experience with cloud-native database services across AWS (RDS/Aurora), OCI, or Azure Database.
• Strong scripting proficiency in Python and Bash, combined with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) expertise using Terraform and Ansible.
• Extensive experience with enterprise backup and recovery tools (Percona XtraBackup, pgBackRest, RMAN) and replication mechanisms (async, semi-sync, logical).
• Advanced Linux/Unix systems administration skills, OS-level performance tuning, and deep SQL execution plan diagnosis.
• Proven track record of self-directed technical ownership and disciplined incident handling in a fully remote setting. Preferred

Skills:
• Experience deploying and orchestrating stateful database workloads using Docker and Kubernetes.
• Hands-on experience with Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS R12.x) database administration, patching, cloning, and upgrades.
• Familiarity with Microsoft SQL Server (Always On Availability Groups) or NoSQL data platforms (MongoDB, Redis).
