DevOps Engineer (Databases)

We are looking for a database and middleware engineer to enhance, support, and troubleshoot our stack. We are looking for someone with a wide breadth of knowledge, experience, and interest in a range of technology domains. The skillset is typically somewhere between a middleware and a devops engineer, a bit of a generalist with the ability to dig deep when necessary.  We deal with many different technologies; a desire to learn and a hunger to work on challenging projects is a must.

Key Responsibilities:

• Triage, troubleshoot, and fix production problems in every layer of the stack
• Work with the Senior Manager of Database and Middleware Engineering to handle critical projects that impact the entire company
• Identify manual work, document the fix in the form of a runbook, then automate it away
• Participate in an on-call rotation supporting production systems
• Mentor engineers and help develop their careers and technical skills
• Work across teams to provide architectural guidance and to help drive large projects

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent work experience
• Experience with at least one of the following: MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, Kafka, Elasticsearch
• 4+ years of experience in Systems Engineering/DevOps/SRE
