We are looking for a hands-on, proactive DBA to join our growing SASE R&D DevOps group. As our dedicated Database Administrator, you will own the operational and performance aspects of our database stack and work closely with R&D engineers, SREs, and QA to ensure our data layer is resilient, efficient, secure, and scales with our business.
This is not a siloed infrastructure-only role - you will partner deeply with developers from design to production, provide input on data modeling and query optimization, and ensure best practices across the board, from schema design to observability, disaster recovery, and upgrades.
We are in a period of hyper-growth - both in terms of customer adoption and engineering scale. This brings exciting challenges in performance, scalability, cost-efficiency, and reliability. Youll play a key role in shaping how our data infrastructure supports this scale and future-proofs our platform.
Why Join Us
Be a core player in our hyper-growth journey - influencing how we scale our platform to support growing enterprise demand.
Collaborate with a top-tier R&D team building a modern, cloud-native SASE platform.
Take real ownership of mission-critical systems in an environment that values technical excellence and impact.

MongoDB (Atlas)
Redis (AWS ElastiCache Valkey)
RabbitMQ (EC2-based cluster)
Additional databases as our platform evolves
Work closely with developers to optimize data models, indexes, and queries across the SDLC (design, QA, staging, production).
Partner with SREs to ensure high availability (99.99% uptime), disaster recovery, monitoring, and performance tuning.

Set up and enforce backup, restore, and retention policies aligned with compliance and availability needs.
Implement and maintain observability tools and alerting for the data infrastructure.
Lead cost optimization of all data services - rightsizing, usage analysis, cleanup, and architecture alignment.
Troubleshoot and resolve data-related incidents; participate in on-call rotations and post-mortems as needed.
