## About the Role

We are looking for a seasoned database professional to join a small team to add maturity across database processes. This is a net-new position and will involve scoping out, maturing, and establishing processes for database management in PostgreSQL. The ideal candidate should be comfortable having high-level conversations with stakeholders about database needs & design decisions as well as get hands-on with schema design, security & access management configurations, and technology decisions.

Prior experience managing vendors, working with internal-stakeholder-heavy positions, and making architecture or technology/tooling decisions is also a plus. Required Skills & Experience
