  • DevSecOps & Automation: Write operational automation scripts (using Python, Bash, or Infrastructure-as-Code frameworks like Terraform/CloudFormation) for automated schema deployments, DDL/DML migrations, health checks, and database maintenance tasks
  • Collaborative Data Support: Partner directly with Data Engineers, Business Analysts, and Software Architects to review schema designs, enforce data modeling best practices, and resolve complex data integration bottlenecks.

  • Experience: 8+ years of progressive experience in database development and administration, with at least 4+ years dedicated to cloud database platforms (AWS preferred) supporting high-volume data warehouses or BI environments
  • Core Technical Stack: Advanced expertise in Amazon Redshift and PostgreSQL / Aurora administration.
  • ETL & Orchestration: Direct experience configuring database targets and connection pools for Apache Airflow, AWS Glue, or similar modern orchestration platforms.
  • SQL Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in advanced SQL, query plan analysis, query tuning, stored procedures, and schema optimization.
  • Scripting & Automation: Strong hands-on scripting skills in Python or Bash for automating database maintenance, monitoring alerts, and data pipeline tasks.
  • Backup & Security: Deep knowledge of cloud DB security practices and HA/DR strategies.


Preferred Additional Skills and Qualifications
