Professionals in this role handle data security, performance tuning, backups, and troubleshooting without being physically present at the organization's site. Remote database administrators (DBAs) and developers use cloud-based tools and VPNs to access and manage databases securely.

It offers flexibility, but strong communication skills and reliable internet connectivity are essential for success.

You may also be tasked with implementing security measures, applying updates and patches, and supporting data migration or integration projects. Collaboration with developers, IT support, and sometimes business analysts via virtual meetings and project management tools is common. This role requires proactive communication and strong documentation skills to ensure smooth workflows and maintain the reliability of critical data systems. By managing these key tasks, you help support an organization's digital infrastructure from anywhere.

Familiarity with tools such as SQL Server Management Studio, Oracle, MongoDB, MySQL, and cloud database platforms is commonly required. Excellent problem-solving abilities, strong attention to detail, and self-motivation are important soft skills since the role is remote and often requires independent work.

About Localize:

The Localize platform is used by 700+ companies to automate the translation of their web and mobile applications and bring their products & services to new markets at record speed. We help companies like Ahrefs to translate their website, NYU Langone Health to translate their urgent care scheduling page, and the University of Nebraska at Kearney to translate their international admissions page. To see our product in action, click any of those links and use the website's language switcher to switch from English to another language. 


Localize works by providing a code snippet (similar to the Google Analytics JavaScript snippet) that our customers add to their website/web app. The Localize snippet pulls in content from the page into the Localize dashboard where our customers log in to add translations and manage their content. Localize automatically deploys those translations to the customer's production site, reducing development costs and accelerating time to market. 


We are a team of ~20 people working fully remote. We offer competitive pay, a full benefits package, and a culture with an emphasis on work + life balance.


This position is only open to applicants who reside in and are eligible to work in the US.
