• Build and manage database environments through Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or AWS CDK) with automated backup, restore, and DR strategies.
• Migrate self-managed databases to managed cloud databases (e.g., MySQL → AWS RDS/Aurora) and incorporate event-driven architecture patterns.
• Collaborate with DevOps and Infrastructure teams to integrate DB solutions into CI/CD pipelines and establish monitoring, observability, and guardrails for DB access.

• Participate in broader infrastructure and DevOps initiatives.
• Assist other engineering teams with database-related development and troubleshooting tasks.
• Serve as a mentor to junior engineers and provide thought leadership in data best practices.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related technical field preferred.
