Job description
To be considered you must have strong mySQL Database administration experience, with PostgreSQL, Aurora, SQL Server, being helpful as well. You will be responsible for database performance (tables/views, indexing, data normalization, etc), backups & recovery, etc. You will also be sitting within a broader devops team and will interface with cloud, infrastructure, and deployment, and automation teams, so any exposure to infrastructure-as-code, terraform, docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, or scripting, would also be helpful.
