BigQuery).\nDefine and enforce standards, schema design best practices, and governance policies.\nDrive SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets for mission-critical data services.\nPerformance Engineering\nOptimize queries, indexes, and workloads using advanced profiling tools across MySQL, MongoDB, MSSQL, and BigQuery.\nTune InnoDB internals, buffer pools, shard keys, working sets, and query execution plans.\nResolve bottlenecks across CPU, memory, and I/O.\nImplement advanced monitoring and alerting (PMM, Ops Manager, Grafana, Datadog).\nOperational Excellence & Automation\nAutomate backup/recovery (XtraBackup, mysqldump/mysqlpump, Ops Manager, filesystem snapshots, MSSQL native tools).\nChampion Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes Operators).\nImplement Change Data Capture (CDC) pipelines using Debezium and integrate with downstream systems.\nEnforce strong security: authentication, authorization, encryption, auditing.\nConduct DR drills, capacity planning, and maintain clear documentation/runbooks.\nContinuously reduce operational toil through automation and engineering solutions.\nCollaboration & Incident Response\nPartner with DevOps/SRE teams to integrate DB ops into CI/CD pipelines.\nMentor engineers on database best practices.\nParticipate in on-call rotations, lead incident response, and write clear, blameless RCAs.\nWork closely with product and platform teams to influence system design through the lens of scale, resilience, and cost\nefficiency.\nWhat We’re Looking For\nCore Engineering\nStrong foundations in Linux/Unix, networking (DNS, TCP/IP), and distributed systems.\nProficiency in Python, Bash, or JavaScript for automation and tooling.\nClean Git practices and strong software engineering discipline.\nDatabases\nDeep expertise in MySQL and MongoDB.\nProven experience with HA/DR setups, replication, and performance tuning.\nBackup/recovery expertise with XtraBackup,
