We need a true builder-someone who looks beyond routine database administration to architect, automate, and scale mission-critical infrastructure., Engineering & Architecture Experience: 5+ years of experience in database engineering and infrastructure support within self-managed or on-premises environments. Must have a proven history as a builder rather than just an operator, with demonstrated experience designing and deploying database systems from the ground up. Core NoSQL Expertise: Concrete, hands-on production experience in the following platforms: MongoDB: Document model design, cluster deployment, configuration, operations, replication, backup, recovery, and high availability. Cassandra: Cluster deployment, scaling, performance tuning, replication strategies, troubleshooting, and production support. Redis: Deployment, configuration, high availability, persistence, monitoring, and operational support. Experience with graph databases (e.g., Neo4j) or comparable NoSQL technologies is a strong plus. Systems-Level Expertise: Proven background in systems-level work, including Linux administration, platform upgrades, storage expansions, capacity planning, and deep performance troubleshooting. Automation & IaC: Practical application of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and automation tools (such as Ansible, Terraform, Python, or Shell scripting) to streamline provisioning, deployment, and management. Problem-Solving & Collaboration: Eager learner with strong technical ownership, comfortable connecting database requirements to broader infrastructure and application needs. Communication: Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with a track record of collaborating effectively with developers, infrastructure teams, security, compliance, and technical stakeholders. skills: in design,Ansible,Shell,Cassandra,platform design,database infrastructure,Database,database platforms,databases,Document architecture,disaster recovery,Infrastructure as Code,Linux,Linux administration,MongoDB,Experience with MongoDB,Neo4j,NoSQL,Python,Redis,performance troubleshooting,high availability,Terraform,communication skills,collaboration,automating,automation,Scripting and automation,capacity planning,database administration,Ansible,DBAs,database administration,infrastructure,infrastructure support,mentor,operational support,production support,learn new technologies,eager learner,security ## Description In this role, you will bridge the gap between database requirements, core infrastructure, security, compliance, and application performance.
