Job Description

Remote Database Reliability Engineer (DRE)

Build the Backbone of Reliable Data—From Anywhere

When every transaction, query, and customer experience depends on dependable data, Database Reliability Engineers shape what’s possible. If you thrive on building resilient systems and turning challenges into opportunities, this remote DRE role is your platform to drive change at scale—and shape the way distributed teams work smarter, not harder.

Why This Role Matters

Every successful product, service, or campaign can be traced back to the integrity of its data. As a DRE, you’re not just ensuring databases stay online—you’re crafting scalable solutions that empower every department, from engineering and support to marketing and product. Your expertise unlocks performance for thousands of users who depend on seamless access every second of the day. Here, your proactive mindset means you’re always one step ahead—solving problems before they’re even noticed.

What You’ll Accomplish

• Architect and build database environments that set the standard for availability and security—both in the cloud and on physical infrastructure.
• Champion automated monitoring, backup, and recovery processes—ensuring zero data loss, even when the unexpected happens.
• Diagnose bottlenecks, optimize queries, and tune configurations for world-class performance that supports business growth.
• You’ll collaborate with engineers, product teams, and business analysts to launch features, migrations, and integrations that thousands of users rely on daily.
• Conduct root cause analyses after incidents—your insights will inform more innovative architecture, more resilient workflows, and smoother releases.
• Guide the adoption of Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, and automated deployment pipelines that reduce manual work and eliminate costly downtime.
• Document solutions with clarity—so everyone, whether they’re in DevOps or support, can understand, extend, and rely on your work.

Tools & Technologies You’ll Champion

Success here means leveraging a toolkit as broad as your curiosity. Our stack includes PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis; we orchestrate workloads with Kubernetes and deploy using Terraform and Ansible. You’ll use Grafana, Prometheus, and ELK Stack for observability, all while collaborating in Slack and Jira to stay in sync with global teammates. Your fluency in scripting—be it Bash, Python, or Go—means you automate repetitive tasks and keep systems humming smoothly.

Skills & Experience That Make You Stand Out

• You’ve engineered robust database solutions that perform flawlessly—even when the stakes are high—serving both mission-critical analytics and real-time operations.
• You understand distributed systems inside and out, ensuring data integrity, consistency, and security—even at scale.
• You simplify complex technical concepts, whether it’s over Zoom or in a quick Slack thread.
• You move quickly but always make time for deep focus and thoughtful solutions.
• You’re an advocate for DevOps best practices—championing automation, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
• You’ve guided successful migrations, system upgrades, and performance-tuning projects in environments where downtime isn’t an option.
• You’re relentless about documentation, making sure every win becomes part of our institutional knowledge.

What It’s Like Working Here

You’ll work remotely—on your terms and schedule—but you’ll never feel isolated. Our remote collaboration stack means you’re plugged into dynamic conversations, brainstorming sessions, and real-time incident responses. You’ll partner with design, engineering, and support to build unified solutions, leveraging a culture built around trust, transparency, and meaningful ownership. Here, curiosity is valued as much as expertise—and new ideas get the runway they deserve.

Growth, Impact, and Rewards

Your work will directly shape how data empowers decision-making across the company. With every improvement, you make things easier for product teams, safer for customers, and more efficient for business operations. This is a place where you’ll own initiatives, experiment boldly, and celebrate wins, both big and small. In return for your impact, you’ll receive an annual salary of $80,000, flexible hours, and support for your professional development.
