Job description

Senior Database Engineer / DB Reliability Engineer (DBRE) - Contract - Remote (US)
We are looking for a Senior Database Engineer / Reliability Engineer to join a sprint-based DBA squad. This role is focused on evolving traditional DBA work into a reliability-first, self-service database platform. You will prioritize recoverability, lifecycle management, and modeling best practices over custodial ticket work.
Responsibilities:
  • Own database reliability outcomes, including availability, performance, and recoverability
  • Design and operationalize data-loss recovery procedures (restore workflows, validation, execution plans)
  • Lead database fleet lifecycle management (versions, patching, sizing, standards)
  • Improve alerting, observability, incident response, and RCA processes
  • Implement secure-by-default database patterns (least privilege, encryption, auditability)
  • Build self-service database capabilities to reduce support burden
  • Pair daily with internal DBAs to model DBRE practices through observational learning

Skills/Qualifications:
  • 10+ years in DBA or DBRE roles
  • Hands-on experience with AWS RDS / Aurora
  • Strong expertise in Postgres and/or MySQL
  • Proven experience executing restores and recovery under pressure
  • Comfortable working in agile teams (standups, sprints, shared backlog)
  • Automation-first mindset

Nice-to-Haves
  • Kubernetes / EKS familiarity
  • Experience in compliance-heavy environments
  • Cost-aware database sizing patterns

Job Type: Contract
Duration: 6M + Extendible
Work Setting: Remote (US)
