Sydney, New South Wales, Australia beBeeData Full time $150,000 - $180,000

At Leonardo AI, we are an Australian technology start-up that is changing the way visual assets are created.

We have grown rapidly since launching in 2022, with over 30 million users worldwide. We're now looking for a Senior Database Administrator to help us scale our data systems.

The Role:

This role sits within the Platform Tribe, a team focused on the foundations of engineering, including cloud infrastructure, observability, tooling, and data. As a Senior Database Administrator, you will be embedded within product squads, working closely with engineers, tech leads, and TPMs to shape how features store, access, and scale data.

Your days will involve hands-on PostgreSQL performance tasks, schema design, and broader architectural planning. You'll troubleshoot slow queries, help develop new services, and contribute to platform-wide data patterns.

  • Database Stewardship: Own the performance, security, and availability of our PostgreSQL systems running in AWS (Aurora, RDS)
  • Product-Embedded Data Architecture: Work closely with squads to shape data models, optimise queries, and support feature delivery
  • Query & Performance Optimisation: 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 Contributions: Document and improve shared patterns, standards, and tooling across our engineering org
  • Data Engineering (Optional): Support data lakehouse and ELT pipelines if you're curious about contributing in that space

You'll embed into 1–2 squads at a time, becoming their go-to person for anything data-related. We work in small, focused squads grouped into larger tribes, aligned with key areas such as Generative AI, Enterprise, and Growth.

What We're Looking For:

  • 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 modelling
  • 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 nice to have
Our Culture
  • Inclusive Culture: We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and empowered
  • Flexible Work Environment: We recognise the importance of maintaining a work-life balance
  • Empowering Growth: Your development is our priority
  • Impactful Work: Join us in shaping the future of AI

A range of benefits to set you up for every success in and outside of work. Here's a taste of what's on offer:

  • Reward package including equity - we want our success to be yours too
  • Inclusive parental leave policy that supports all parents & carers with 18 weeks paid leave
  • An annual Vibe & Thrive allowance to support your wellbeing, social connection, office setup & more
  • Flexible leave options that empower you to be a force for good, take time to recharge and supports you personally
  • Support with your professional development
