We are seeking a highly skilled Infrastructure Engineer specializing in databases and storage systems to design, build, and optimize our next-generation data platform. This role focuses on scaling mission-critical PostgreSQL, OpenSearch, and cloud storage environments while ensuring high availability, strong security, and operational excellence across the stack.

Responsibilities :

Database & Storage Architecture :

- Design, deploy, and maintain PostgreSQL, OpenSearch, and object-storage clusters (Azure Blob Storage / AWS S3) for high-throughput, low-latency workloads.

- Implement and maintain a schema registry, metadata catalog, and time-versioned storage architecture to support governance, lineage, and reproducibility.

Performance, Reliability & Compliance :

- Configure and manage read replicas, backup & restore pipelines, encryption-at-rest, and WORM (Write-Once-Read-Many) compliance for regulated environments.

- Optimize query execution, indexing strategies, partitioning, vacuuming, and replication latency to ensure predictable performance at scale.

- Monitor capacity, throughput, and storage costs while driving continuous performance improvements.

Automation & Platform Integration :

- Collaborate closely with DevOps/SRE teams to implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, Helm, or similar tooling.

- Design cross-region replication and disaster-recovery architectures to achieve resilience and minimal RPO/RTO targets.

- Contribute to observability integrations across logs, metrics, and traces for end-to-end platform visibility.

Requirements :

Technical Experience :

- 6+ years of experience in database administration, data infrastructure engineering, or platform engineering roles.

- Deep expertise in indexing, partitioning, query tuning, sharding, replication, and overall database performance engineering.

- Demonstrated experience deploying and managing cloud-native database and storage platforms using Terraform, Helm, Kubernetes, or similar orchestration tools.

Skills & Attributes :

- Strong understanding of distributed systems, consensus protocols, and data durability patterns.

- Ability to design secure, compliant data storage systems adhering to industry standards.

- Excellent troubleshooting skills across operating systems, networks, and database layers.

- Effective communicator who can partner with engineering, DevOps, and security teams.
