Skills you'll use

What you'll do

• Own the reliability, performance, and observability of our production databases (primarily PostgreSQL / Amazon Aurora), so that issues are seen and understood in minutes, not hours.
• Lead deep-dive diagnosis of production incidents — query performance, lock and wait-event analysis, connection-pool behaviour, blocking sessions — and turn findings into lasting fixes and runbooks.
• Build proactive guardrails: query and statement timeouts, connection-pool standards, slow-query and contention alerting, capacity and saturation monitoring.
• Partner with engineering squads to design schemas, indexes, and access patterns that scale, and to enforce safe database practices in their services.
• Contribute the database-reliability perspective to significant platform-evolution work, including separation of read and write paths and the decomposition of shared database components.
• Improve our database observability tooling and dashboards so reliability is measurable and trends are visible before they become incidents.
• Help embed a culture of operational excellence, blameless post-incident review, and continuous improvement.
• Person Specification
• Substantial hands-on experience operating production PostgreSQL (Aurora / RDS a strong plus) at meaningful scale.
• Genuine SRE mindset: comfortable with observability tooling, metrics and tracing, alerting, automation, and infrastructure-as-code — not just database administration.

• Demonstrable strength in performance diagnosis: reading query plans, identifying lock contention and blocking, resolving connection-pool exhaustion, and tuning for throughput and latency.
• Experience supporting high-availability, low-tolerance systems where correctness and uptime both matter.
• Clear, calm communicator who can lead a live incident and explain root cause to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
• Scripting/automation ability (e.g. Python, Bash) and working familiarity with AWS and Kubernetes-based environments.
