  • Maintain customer-specific technical and physical assets securely and in accordance with established procedures.
  • Lead team maintenance activities, including handovers, documentation, process acknowledgements, and incident reviews.
  • Improve internal tools and processes by designing monitoring checks, enhancing DBA toolkits, and contributing to performance reviews, audits, and other operational improvements.
  • Participate in presales activities, proposal preparation, technical calls, and other customer-facing business development initiatives.
  • Contribute to technical content, presentations, conferences, user groups, and other activities that strengthen the broader professional profile of the organization.
  • Mentor and train Database Consultants, support new team members through buddy programs, and contribute to the preparation and delivery of technical training.
  • 7+ years of overall experience in a Database Reliability Engineer (DBRE), Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), or production Database Administrator (DBA) role.
  • Strong senior-level expertise in production database environments, with the ability to manage complex reliability, performance, and recovery challenges independently.
  • Strong proficiency in Object-Oriented Programming using Python or Go, including practical experience with the Django framework for tooling or application development.
