Senior Database Reliability Engineer

Own the Data Tier:

• Own database reliability across Aurora, OpenSearch, Redis, and the CDC pipeline, including schema design reviews and migration safety.
• Make the Django ORM a strength at scale: catch N+1 patterns, extend QuerySet conventions, and build CI checks that scale beyond any single reviewer.
• Operate and evolve the CDC pipeline from Aurora through DMS to S3 Parquet to Snowflake, including replication slot hygiene and schema evolution safety.

Drive Observability and Automation:

• Build and improve observability across pganalyze, CloudWatch, and Honeycomb, tying slow ORM queries back to specific users, flags, and deploys.
• Drive multi-AZ resilience within a single-region architecture, including Aurora writer/reader placement and failover behavior.
• Build self-service tooling and dashboards that give product and platform teams visibility into their own query footprint.

Mentor and Scale the Team:

• Contribute to onboarding and knowledge-sharing as a large incoming class of engineers joins.
• Write docs, run internal sessions on ORM query performance, and feed that knowledge back into AI review tooling.
• Set the bar for how engineers across the company interact with the databases, not just keep the lights on.
