Job Description:

Database Site Reliability Engineer (Database Operations)

Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced Database Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to support and operate mission-critical database platforms within a fast-paced enterprise environment. This role is focused on operational excellence, reliability, resiliency, automation, and continuous improvement across multiple database technologies.

This is not a development role. We are looking for hands-on database professionals who thrive in production operations, take ownership of issues, understand urgency, and are passionate about improving systems, processes, and themselves.

The ideal candidate views reliability as a product, proactively identifies risks before they become incidents, and continuously seeks opportunities to automate repetitive tasks and improve platform stability.

Key Responsibilities

Database Operations & Reliability

• Install, configure, upgrade, patch, and maintain enterprise database platforms.

• Ensure availability, performance, recoverability, and security of production database environments.

• Monitor database platforms and associated infrastructure, responding rapidly to incidents and service degradations.

• Lead troubleshooting efforts for database, operating system, storage, replication, and application connectivity issues.

• Execute failovers, disaster recovery testing, and recovery procedures.

• Partner with application teams to provide database guidance and operational support.

Platform Engineering

• Deploy, maintain, and optimize database infrastructure across physical, virtual, and cloud environments.

• Implement scalable, resilient database solutions.

• Evaluate and recommend improvements to architecture, monitoring, automation, and operational processes.

• Support capacity planning, performance tuning, and platform lifecycle management.

Automation & Continuous Improvement

• Develop and maintain automation solutions using Python, Shell, Ansible, or similar technologies.

• Help eliminate manual operational activities through engineering and automation.

• Improve monitoring, alerting, reporting, and operational workflows.

• Drive incremental improvements that reduce risk, improve reliability, and increase operational efficiency.

Performance & Incident Management

• Analyze and resolve database performance issues.

• Troubleshoot replication, backup/recovery, storage, network, and infrastructure-related incidents.

• Participate in root cause analysis and drive permanent corrective actions.

• Review operational metrics and trends to identify opportunities for improvement.

Operational Excellence

• Maintain accurate operational documentation, standards, and procedures.

• Generate and present operational metrics, service health indicators, and reliability reporting.

• Participate in incident response activities.

• Demonstrate strong ownership from issue identification through resolution.

Required Qualifications

• Strong experience administering enterprise database platforms, including:

• Sybase ASE

• Oracle RAC

• Additional database technologies such as MongoDB, Cassandra, Redis, PostgreSQL, MySQL, or similar platforms are a plus.

• Experience performing:

• Installation

• Configuration

• Upgrades

• Patching

• Performance tuning

• Backup and recovery

• High availability and disaster recovery

• Experience with database replication technologies including:

• SAP Replication Server

• Data Guard

• HVR (preferred)

• Strong Linux administration skills.

• Experience with automation and scripting:

• Python

• Ansible

• Shell scripting

• Understanding of storage, networking, operating systems, and infrastructure services.

• Experience with Veritas Cluster Server, ASM, LVM, and SAN technologies.

• Familiarity with enterprise operational tooling such as Jira, Service Now and Confluence.

• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.

What Success Looks Like

The successful candidate:

• Takes ownership and drives issues to closure.

• Understands the urgency required to support critical production environments.

• Continuously improves systems, processes, and operational effectiveness.

• Learns quickly and adapts to new technologies.

• Balances operational stability with engineering innovation.

• Communicates clearly and effectively during incidents and high-pressure situations.

• Demonstrates a strong sense of accountability and professionalism.

• Leaves the platform better than they found it every day.

Preferred Mindset

We hire for attitude as much as technical skill.

We're looking for individuals who are:

• Customer obsessed

• Accountable and dependable

• Urgent without being reckless

• Continuously learning

• Driven to automate repetitive work

• Detail-oriented

• Collaborative but willing to lead

• Focused on long-term platform reliability rather than short-term fixes
