Database Administrator, SRE/Site Reliability, Cloud Computing: Infrastructure & Operations, Unix/Linux
At , we provide world-class global coverage with one of the most interconnected networks in the world. Our solutions focus on low latency, zero packet loss, and unmatched scalability, enabling seamless experiences for millions of users worldwide. With dedicated support, bespoke solutions, and cutting-edge technology, we deliver reliable, cost-efficient infrastructure that empowers game developers and businesses to scale effortlessly. Partnering with major names like Nvidia, Duck Duck Go , and Ubisoft, we are shaping the future of gaming and network technology.
Why your role mattersAs a Senior Database Reliability Engineer, you own the availability, scalability, and performance of our MariaDB/MySQL platforms that power real time and latency sensitive services across 's global infrastructure.
You design, build, and operate highly available database platforms that are reliable, observable, and easy for our internal engineering teams to consume. From provisioning new database clusters and automating operations to improving performance and supporting mission critical production workloads, you play a key role in ensuring our services remain fast, resilient, and always available.
Because operates its own global infrastructure, you work across the full technology stack. Alongside database engineering, you'll work closely with Linux, Kubernetes, Infrastructure-as-Code, and platform automation to build modern database services rather than simply administer databases.
Key Responsibilities- Design and build database platforms: You design, build, and evolve highly available RDBMS platforms, ensuring they are resilient, scalable, and aligned with platform standards across multiple environments.
- Operate and optimize database clusters: You manage multi-environment database clusters, including replication, failover, backups, and performance tuning, using components such as Kubernetes and load balancers.
- Automate database operations: You automate database provisioning, configuration, upgrades, and maintenance using IaC, reducing manual effort and increasing consistency across environments.
- Linux and systems ownership: You take responsibility for the Linux systems running database workloads, handling day-to-day operations, troubleshooting, and system-level tuning in bare metal and hybrid setups.
- CI/CD for database platforms: You integrate database changes into CI/CD pipelines, supporting safe and repeatable deployments, schema changes, and configuration updates across staging and production.
- Monitoring and observability: You implement and maintain monitoring and alerting for database platforms using tools such as Prometheus and Grafana, ensuring clear visibility into performance, capacity, and reliability.
- Security and reliability: You apply security best practices to database platforms, including access control, encryption, and compliance requirements, while continuously improving availability and recovery processes.
- Collaboration and knowledge sharing: You work closely with platform, Dev Ops, and application teams, sharing knowledge, improving internal tooling, and supporting incident reviews and continuous improvement.
At , you’ll work with:
- Databases: MariaDB/MySQL, multi-node clusters, replication, backups and recovery
- Infrastructure and tooling: Linux (bare metal and hybrid), Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, Git Hub Actions
- Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, logging and alerting stacks
- Practices: Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, Agile ways of working, you build it, you deploy it, you support it.
- Database platforms are stable, scalable and consumable by our systems and teams
- Manual database operations are largely automated
- Performance and availability issues are…
