About the Role:

Our client is seeking a very senior, hands-on Database Solutions Architect to lead the design, implementation, and operation of highly available, cloud-native database platforms
. This role is full-stack in platform engineering — combining deep architecture expertise with hands‑on execution across Linux, Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code, and cross‑region/bare‑metal environments.

This is not a DBA-only role
. The ideal candidate has independently built and operated production‑grade, multi‑region platforms and can handle networking, automation, and infrastructure challenges without heavy guidance.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Design, implement, and optimize HA open‑source database platforms (Maria

    DB, Postgre

    SQL, TiDB) across multiple regions and bare‑metal/cloud environments
  • Troubleshoot replication failures, slow queries, performance bottlenecks, and availability incidents independently
  • Lead Infrastructure as Code automation initiatives using Terraform, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines
  • Ensure data protection, backup, and recovery across production and non‑production environments
  • Collaborate on networking architecture and cross‑region platform deployments
  • Participate in on‑call rotations supporting critical systems
  • Partner with engineering teams to define architecture and enforce best practices
Required

Skills & Experience:
  • Deep Linux expertise (RHEL/CentOS/Rocky, Ubuntu), including package management, compiling, and managing code locally
  • Strong experience with HA Maria

    DB/Postgre

    SQL/TiDB
    in production, multi‑AZ/multi‑region environments
  • Experience with Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, and Infrastructure as Code
  • Strong cross‑region/bare‑metal infrastructure and networking knowledge
  • Development experience in Golang and/or Python for automation and tooling
  • Ability to troubleshoot complex systems independently without relying on enterprise tools or vendors
  • Excellent communication skills for cross‑functional teams and stakeholders
  • Proven ability to recall and apply previous experience, not just theoretical knowledge
Why This Role:

This is a highly senior, hands‑on platform role where independence, deep technical expertise, and multi‑region/cloud experience are critical. You will work directly on the client’s engineering team
, influencing architecture and day‑to‑day platform reliability while collaborating across teams. Red Oak is serving solely as the recruiting partner — you will not be employed by Red Oak
.
