• Design, develop, test, and maintain scalable, secure relational database solutions that support cloud-native and enterprise applications.
• Design logical and physical data models, schemas, tables, relationships, constraints, indexes, and partitioning strategies based on application and business requirements.
• Develop and maintain SQL, stored procedures, functions, views, triggers, and other database components used by applications and integration workflows.
• Tune database performance across SQL, indexing, schema design, execution plans, configuration parameters, storage, and capacity to meet demanding application workloads.
• Review application data-access patterns and collaborate with software engineers to improve query efficiency, transaction behavior, concurrency, and scalability.
• Plan and execute database migrations, upgrades, schema changes, and platform modernization efforts with strong validation, data-integrity, and rollback practices.
• Implement and support database backup and recovery, replication, high availability, security, access controls, monitoring, auditing, and capacity planning.
• Automate database provisioning, configuration, schema deployment, maintenance, and operational workflows using infrastructure as code, scripting, CI/CD, and cloud-native tooling.
• Diagnose and resolve database performance, locking, connectivity, availability, and data-integrity issues across development, test, and production environments.
• Translate customer and application requirements into practical data models, database designs, engineering tasks, and implementation plans, and evaluate new database technologies where appropriate.

• Advanced SQL and relational database design skills, including data modeling, normalization and denormalization, indexing, constraints, transactions, and schema design.
• Strong hands-on experience with PostgreSQL and familiarity with one or more additional enterprise relational database platforms such as SQL Server, Oracle, or MySQL.
• Strong database development experience, including stored procedures, functions, views, triggers, schema versioning, and database change management.
• Proven ability to troubleshoot and tune database workloads using execution plans, query analysis, indexing strategies, statistics, locking and concurrency analysis, and configuration tuning.
• Practical experience designing and operating databases in AWS, including managed relational database services such as Amazon RDS and Amazon Aurora.
• Solid understanding of database reliability and operations, including backup and recovery, replication, high availability, disaster recovery, monitoring, security, encryption, and access control.
• Experience with Python or Bash and automation tools such as Terraform, AWS CDK/CloudFormation, or equivalent is a strong plus.

• BS or MS in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field preferred; equivalent experience considered.
• 5+ years of experience in database engineering, database administration, or data platform engineering with significant hands-on responsibility for production relational database systems.
• Demonstrated experience designing, developing, tuning, and operating production relational database systems, including hands-on experience with database workloads in AWS.
• Deep expertise in Amazon RDS and Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL, including cluster configuration, performance tuning, parameter management, operations, troubleshooting, and production workload optimization.
• Proven experience migrating legacy enterprise databases such as Oracle or SQL Server to PostgreSQL, including schema conversion, dependency remediation, data migration, validation, cutover planning, and post-migration stabilization.
• Hands-on experience configuring and optimizing PostGIS for GIS and spatial workloads, including spatial data types, indexes, queries, extension configuration, and performance considerations.
• Proven ability to design and implement HA/DR architectures using Aurora Multi-AZ, read replicas, cross-region replication, automated failover, backup and recovery, and recovery strategies aligned to application RTO and RPO requirements.
• Strong database change-management discipline, including blue/green deployments, logical replication, staged cutovers, validation gates, rollback planning, and techniques that enable zero or near-zero downtime during platform transitions.
• Ability to move between hands-on database engineering and higher-level solution design as project needs evolve, with sound judgment across performance, availability, recoverability, security, cost, and delivery tradeoffs.
