Chief Database Architect

As a seasoned database professional, you will play a key role in shaping the data infrastructure of our product.

• Database Leadership: Drive the performance, security, and availability of our PostgreSQL systems running in AWS (Aurora, RDS)
• Product Data Architecture: Collaborate with squads to design and evolve schemas for fast-changing product environments
• Query & Performance Optimization: Diagnose and resolve slow queries and bottlenecks, and proactively improve performance at scale
• Operational Resilience: Monitor, alert, back up, patch, and upgrade production databases as part of our on-call support rotation
• Platform Development: Document and improve shared patterns, standards, and tooling across our engineering organization
• Data Engineering (Optional): Support data lakehouse and ELT pipelines if you're interested in contributing in that space

You'll be working in small, focused squads grouped into larger tribes, aligned with key areas such as Generative AI, Enterprise, and Growth. We're looking for individuals with:

• Hands-on PostgreSQL experience in production environments, ideally within AWS (Aurora, RDS)
• Proven ability to design and evolve schemas for fast-changing product environments
• Strong understanding of query performance, indexing, and relational data modeling
• Comfort working in cross-functional squads with engineers, product managers, and TPMs
• Clear thinking around data architecture, standards, and trade-offs
• Experience with monitoring and alerting tools (e.g. CloudWatch, Datadog) and a proactive mindset
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), scripting, or Python is a plus
