In this role, you will:

• Design and implement cloud-based database architectures that meet application requirements and organizational goals.
• Collaborate with application teams to architect scalable, secure, and high-performing cloud database solutions that align with enterprise standards.
• Partner with the Cloud Engineering and Site Reliability Engineers to integrate database CI/CD pipelines into their application deployments. Including Jenkins and Ansible.
• Have in-depth knowledge of designing and building automation for database provisioning and repetitive tasks using infrastructure as code tools, including AWS’s CloudFormation and Terraform.
• Develop and maintain disaster recovery and high availability strategies. Provide DR testing support.
• Ensure compliance with data governance, security, regulatory and privacy standards. Capability with preparing evidence to support internal and external auditors.
• Proficient at preparing deployment and operational procedure manuals.

• Provide second-level support for troubleshooting production incidents.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement native cloud database solutions using Terraform and AWS’s CloudFormation.
• Automate the monitoring and alerting of database performance and availability.
• Provide support for the operational support team on routine database maintenance, including backups, patching, performance tuning, and capacity planning.
• Master the latest DB features and apply them to provide a measurable value to application teams.
• Perform analysis and end-to-end execution from roadmap to implementation of database consolidations, migrations, and conversions.
• Work to reduce complexity and cost in database environments through analysis, simplification, and automation using Ansible, Python, Terraform or other tools.
• Evaluate new product releases and make recommendations on implementation of newest versions.
• Assist application and DBA teams with databases migration from an on-prem system to the Cloud.
• Maintain documentation of standard operating policies and procedures.

Required Skills & Experience

• 3 - 5 years of professional experience managing relational and NoSQL databases in a cloud environment (AWS and GCP).
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform and CloudFormation
• Proficiency with GitHub (version control, pull requests, and code reviews).
• Familiarity with Jenkins pipelines, Ansible automation, and ServiceNow.
• Solid understanding of networking concepts, VPCs, subnets, and security groups as they relate to database deployments.
• Strong organizational and communication skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• The ability to learn fast on the job by partnering with senior resources.
• A passion for engineering excellence and continuous improvement.
• Effective communication and collaboration skills across cross-functional teams; strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
• Use AI tools as a productivity accelerator to speed up development, automation, analysis, refactoring, troubleshooting, and documentation-while retaining full ownership of technical decisions and outcomes.
• Critically evaluate and validate AI-generated output using domain expertise, system knowledge, and production feedback; recognize when suggestions are incorrect, incomplete, or unsafe and adjust accordingly.
• Apply AI responsibly within enterprise security, governance, and compliance boundaries, including data privacy, access controls, logging, auditability, and regulatory requirements.
• Leverage AI to improve operational effectiveness (e.g., analyzing logs, metrics, incidents, and configuration drift) to accelerate root cause analysis, remediation, and prevention.
• Clearly explain what AI contributed, what was changed, and why-demonstrating understanding rather than reliance; AI is a tool to amplify expertise, not replace it.
• Experience operationalizing AI-enabled services and models using MLOps-aligned practices, including versioning, CI/CD integration, monitoring, and lifecycle management.
• Familiarity with common model deployment patterns (batch processing, real-time APIs, and event-driven architectures) on cloud platforms.
• Experience integrating AI capabilities into enterprise systems using REST APIs, messaging systems, or event-based architectures, with a focus on reliability and operability.
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related discipline.
