Database Specialist

Overview

We are seeking an experienced Database Specialist with deep expertise in graph databases and time-series data stores to own the full lifecycle from design to operations — of the data persistence layer for our digital twin platforms. You will be responsible for data modeling, schema design, query optimization, as well as DBA functions including installation, security, replication, backup/recovery, and incident response. This role is critical to ensuring reliable, performant, and secure databases that power simulation and operational intelligence.

Our core database stack includes:

Graph Database

- Neo4j for network topology modeling and relationship graphs
- Cypher for graph queries and traversals
- Graph algorithms (pathfinding, centrality, community detection)

Time-Series Database
- TimescaleDB for high-volume operational and temporal data
- Continuous aggregates and retention policies
- Time-series indexing and compression

Analytics & Governance
- Databricks SQL for analytical queries
- Unity Catalog for metadata management and governance
- Spatial data indexing and geospatial queries

Key Responsibilities
- Design and implement Neo4j graph models for network topology, assets, and dependencies
- Develop and optimize Cypher queries for complex traversals and real-time lookups
- Architect TimescaleDB schemas for high-volume time-series data with partitioning and retention
- Implement graph algorithms for pathfinding, connectivity, and network optimization
- Tune database performance via indexing, query optimization, and schema design
- Install, configure,



and maintain Neo4j and TimescaleDB across environments
- Manage database security, access control, encryption, and compliance logging
- Configure replication, clustering, failover, and execute upgrades/migrations
- Establish monitoring, alerting, capacity planning, and incident response
- Integrate with Databricks lakehouse, support Unity Catalog, and document standards/procedures

Preferred Qualifications
- 8+ years of database engineering/DBA experience, with 4+ years in graph or time-series databases
- Track record of designing and operating production-grade Neo4j or TimescaleDB deployments at scale
- Experience with graph algorithm libraries (Neo4j GDS, NetworkX)
- Experience managing databases in enterprise environments with strict SLAs and compliance requirements
- Experience working in agile, cross-functional teams

Highly Desirable
- Experience with database design and operations for digital twin or simulation platforms
- Familiarity with network topology modeling (infrastructure, logistics, utilities, or similar domains)
- Experience with temporal graph patterns (versioned relationships, time-varying properties)
- Exposure to hybrid query patterns combining graph traversals with time-series analytics
- Experience with database migration and schema evolution strategies at scale
- Neo4j Certified Professional or equivalent certification
- Exposure to industrial domains such as Manufacturing, Logistics, or Transportation is a plus
