  • Collaborate with engineering teams on schema reviews, query optimization, and BigQuery governance.
  • Handle security and audit tasks; respond to support requests and data change needs promptly.
  • Support incident response and participate in on‑call rotations (including off‑hours, Central Time) and scheduled maintenance such as patching, large data scripts, VLDB index work, and DR testing.

  • Experience in Memorystore for Redis, AlloyDB, Spanner and BigQuery preferred.
  • Experience with other cloud-based database technologies or platforms, such as Azure SQL or AWS RDS, preferred.
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform and version control systems like GitHub for managing database infrastructure changes.
  • Experience with high-availability architectures, disaster recovery planning, and execution.

Required Skills/Abilities

  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills with attention to detail.
  • Strong collaboration skills and the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams.

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.
