You will deploy, automate, and maintain databases - primarily on Kubernetes - serving 500+ developers across multiple environments. This is a practical, engineering-heavy role. You will work daily with Kubernetes operators, Helm charts, Ansible playbooks, and CI/CD pipelines to keep databases running reliably at scale. If you have deployed and managed any database on Kubernetes (PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, MySQL, MongoDB - anything counts), and you enjoy solving real operational problems rather than just writing YAML, this role is for you. You will join a small, focused team of experienced engineers and start contributing from day one. We value practical experience over theoretical knowledge. What You Will Do a) Deploy and operate databases on Kubernetes + Deploy and manage database clusters using Kubernetes operators (e.g., CloudNativePG, ECK, or any equivalent operator you have worked with). + Handle day-to-day database operations: provisioning, scaling, backups, failover, upgrades, and user management. + Troubleshoot production issues across multiple database engines (PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, MySQL, Cassandra, ClickHouse, MongoDB). b) Build and maintain automation + Write and maintain Ansible playbooks, Helm charts, and Terraform modules for database lifecycle management. + Automate repetitive operational tasks: credential rotation, configuration drift detection, and backup verification. + Integrate database services with GitOps workflows (ArgoCD) and secrets management (External Secrets Operator, OpenBao). c) Support the platform and the team + Create operational runbooks and documentation for database procedures. + Collaborate with other teams on monitoring, alerting, and access control for databases., Talan Málaga ITSM Tooling Lead - Humankind Cc Recruitment Málaga End User Support Specialist - Humankind Cc Recruitment Málaga Client Support Operations Lead - Humankind Cc Recruitment Málaga Senior Data Engineer | Data Platform & Database Optimization Convotis Iberia Málaga ## Related Videos - [CI/CD with Github Actions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/856-ci-cd-with-github-actions) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Reducing LLM Calls with Vector Search Patterns - Raphael De Lio (Redis)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1714-reducing-llm-calls-with-vector-search-patterns-raphael-de-lio-redis) - [My journey into DevOps world - How it all started!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/545-my-journey-into-devops-world-how-it-all-started) - [How I saved 200K/yr in direct costs writing 0 code lines in K8s](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1055-how-i-saved-200k-yr-in-direct-costs-writing-0-code-lines-in-k8s) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) ## Related Articles - [DevOps Engineer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/203-devops-engineer-salary-2023) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [7 Most Popular Web Developer Jobs in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/163-7-most-popular-web-developer-jobs-in-europe) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs)
