About Company :

An enterprise tech startup founded in 2016 and based in Bengaluru. The company builds India's paperless digital infrastructure - covering digital identity verification, legal e-signing, document automation, eNACH payment automation, and e-KYC.

It serves 1,500+ enterprises and 100 million individual users. The company runs lean at ~90 people, with ~40 engineers, and operates at the intersection of financial inclusion and regulatory-grade reliability.

Its culture rewards ownership, first-principles thinking, and craftsmanship over process.

Position Overview :

This is a founding seat on the company's Platform Pod - a greenfield infrastructure team with a P0 mandate. As the Data Infrastructure SME, you will own the entire database estate: performance, replication, backup/DR, capacity, and cost across high-throughput transactional systems underpinning payments, identity, e-sign, and compliance products. You will also define the data-layer standards and self-serve tooling that product teams across a ~40-engineer organisation depend on.

What Youll Own :

- Own production database infrastructure across performance, replication, backup/DR, upgrades, capacity and cost.

- Drive schema, query and migration best practices across engineering teams.

- Work deeply with MySQL/PostgreSQL internals and distributed SQL/NoSQL systems at scale.

- Design and automate database provisioning, lifecycle management, recovery and upgrades.

- Lead large-scale production migrations with minimal downtime and zero data loss.

- Build database capabilities for customer-controlled/on-prem environments, where hands-on access may be limited.

- Partner with engineering teams to build self-service tooling, guardrails and future DBaaS capabilities.

What Were Looking For :

- 5+ years of deep hands-on production database ownership.

- Internals-level expertise in PostgreSQL or MySQL.

- Experience with distributed SQL/NoSQL databases at scale.

- Proven experience with database automation, self-service tooling or DBaaS/platform engineering.

- Track record of successfully executing critical production database migrations.

- Strong understanding of HA, replication, DR, performance tuning and capacity planning.

Bonus Points :

- Experience with TiDB / CockroachDB / YugabyteDB, Kubernetes/Terraform, or banking, payments, fintech and other transaction-critical systems.

What We Offer:

- Founding seat on the Platform Pod - greenfield mandate with P0 priority and direct influence over infrastructure decisions across a ~40-engineer organisation.

- Ownership of a domain that touches every product - payments, identity, e-sign, and compliance - with real SLA accountability.

- Lean, high-trust environment: ~90-person company where platform decisions ship fast and your work is visible to leadership.
