Devops Engineer II; DBOps - Poland

Staff Dev Ops Engineer II (DBOps)

5+ years of hands‑on experience designing, implementing, and operating relational databases in production, plus 3+ years in Dev Ops, SRE, or software engineering.

As a Staff Dev Ops Engineer II (DBOps), you will bridge the gap between schema design, site reliability engineering, and infrastructure automation. You will own database health, continuously improve observability, and design scalable architectures to support high‑growth workloads.

10000 – 10700 USD per month (B2B).

• Own observability, monitoring, and alerting of production database clusters and replication topologies.
• Optimize database engine configurations for performance, stability, compliance, and security.
• Design scalable database schemas and storage architectures to support high‑growth application workloads.
• Implement advanced data scaling strategies including sharding, partitioning, and high‑availability clustering.
• Triage critical production database incidents and establish long‑term preventative engineering solutions.
• Lead cross‑functional initiatives for disaster recovery testing, data classification, and major engine upgrades.
• Build cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code to automate deployment pipelines and environments.
• Collaborate with software development teams on complex migrations, schema reviews, and query optimization.
• Participate in systemic architecture reviews to provide authoritative database engineering expertise.
• Automate operational tasks and third‑party API integrations using modern scripting languages.

• Production‑scale expertise with relational technologies (MySQL, PostgreSQL) including backups, replication topologies, indexing, and partitioning.
• Advanced knowledge of database architecture, data modeling, query optimization, and high‑availability / backup & recovery solutions.
• Extensive experience building cloud infrastructure using IaC (Terraform, Cloud Formation, Pulumi, CDK) in AWS.
• Proficiency in programming languages (Python, Golang) to drive automation and tool integration.
• Strong operational familiarity with Linux operating systems, containerization (Docker), and orchestrators (Kubernetes, ECS).
• Hands‑on experience with continuous integration and deployment pipelines (Git Lab, TravisCI, CircleCI, Jenkins).
• Demonstrated experience deploying monitoring and observability platforms (Datadog, New Relic).
• Demonstrated ability to leverage AI tools to improve workflows, streamline execution, or enhance outputs.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent work experience.

• Exceptional breadth of interest through tangible, self‑initiated ventures or deep community involvement.
• Strong systems thinking and the ability to balance long‑term technical objectives with immediate operational priorities.
• Deep technical comfort explaining complex architectural trade‑offs, cardinality, data types, and engine execution behaviors to other developers.
• Genuine passion for data‑driven decision‐making and troubleshooting distributed architectures.
• Familiarity with data streaming or ETL architectures (Kafka, Confluent Cloud).
