About you Either a background as an operations or production engineer with an enthusiasm for code, or a software engineer with an enthusiasm for systems and infrastructure. 5+ years of experience building, maintaining, and debugging distributed systems in a customer-facing environment with little to no downtime. Hands-on experience operating and scaling production datastores (MongoDB and/or PostgreSQL), including performance tuning, schema or index design, and incident-level troubleshooting. Experience supporting multiple teams using shared datastore infrastructure, including establishing guardrails, best practices, and patterns that scale with growth. Experience navigating and scaling multi-tier cloud environments on AWS or GCP using containerized and Kubernetes-based architectures. Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or Pulumi, including managing stateful infrastructure. Enthusiasm for mentoring and sponsoring less-experienced engineers.

Have led or contributed to data migrations, major version upgrades, or the introduction of new database technologies in production. Have experience with managed database services (e.g., MongoDB Atlas, RDS, Cloud SQL) and navigating tradeoffs around cost, reliability, and operational control. Enjoy working in ambiguous problem spaces, helping define what “good” looks like for datastore reliability, scalability, and developer experience Even if you don’t meet 100% of the above qualifications, you should still seriously consider applying.
