Job Description

Postgres Database Engineer

The Software Engineering team delivers next-generation software application enhancements and new products for a changing world. Working at the cutting edge, we design and develop software for platforms, peripherals, applications and diagnostics — all with the most advanced technologies, tools, software engineering methodologies and the collaboration of internal and external partners.

Join us to do the best work of your career and make a profound impact as Postgres Database Engineer on our growing and dynamic team in Round Rock, Texas.

What you’ll achieve

As a Postgres Database Engineer, you will architect Dell's global PostgreSQL platform strategy and build the autonomous tooling that enables self-healing database operations across thousands of instances. You will work with global database engineering pods to define Kubernetes-native deployment standards, mentor database engineers, and represent Postgres platform requirements in executive planning and vendor negotiations.

You will:

  • Architect and lead PostgreSQL platform strategy across Dell's global fleet - HA design, disaster recovery, security hardening, and performance baselines for thousands of instances
  • Design and implement Postgres-on-Kubernetes at scale using operators (CloudNativePG/Patroni), storage architecture, multi-region failover, and observability integration
  • Build agentic/autonomous tooling for self-healing failover, automated VACUUM/analyze scheduling, and predictive capacity alerts using LLM-augmented logic
  • Author Infrastructure-as-Code modules (Ansible)
  • Mentor engineers through weekly architecture reviews and represent Postgres requirements planning and vendor negotiations

Take the first step towards your dream career Every Dell Technologies team member brings something unique to the table. Here’s what we are looking for with this role:

Essential Requirements

  • 10–14 years of IT infrastructure or platform engineering experience, or 7+ years with exceptional depth demonstrated through production scale, open-source contributions, or published work
  • 6+ years of production PostgreSQL at scale - partitioning, logical replication, connection pooling (PgBouncer), WAL tuning, Patroni, pgBackRest
  • 3+ years of Kubernetes for stateful workloads — operators, persistent storage design, backup/restore in K8s, multi-cluster patterns
  • 3+ years building automation frameworks in Python, Go, or Bash - authoring infrastructure, not just using playbooks
  • Proven track record of designing and developing Database as a service

Desirable Requirements

  • pgVector production experience with high-dimension embedding workloads (RAG, semantic search)
  • Agentic coding or LLM-augmented operations - self-healing scripts, natural-language-to-query interfaces, or autonomous remediation
  • Contributions to PostgreSQL ecosystem open-source projects (patches, extensions, operators, or tooling)

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
