This takes hard work and innovation, and we need more like-minded people on our team.

About the Role

We’re looking for a collaborative and technically strong professional to join our team as Cloud Database Administrator (AWS RDS, MS SQL, PostgreSQL, Snowflake). In this role, you will support the ongoing operation and migration of Microsoft SQL Server and PostgreSQL databases as they transition from on-premises environments to AWS EC2 and Amazon RDS.

Administer and support Snowflake environments, including performance monitoring, workload management, role and access control, data usage governance, and cost awareness.
Serve on the internal database team for cloud platforms, acting as technical point of contact for managed service providers, professional services, and internal application teams.
Plan and execute database lifecycle activities such as minor and major version upgrades, parameter group changes, storage scaling, and capacity planning for RDS and Snowflake platforms.
Establish and maintain operational standards, documentation, and runbooks; proactively identify risks, optimization opportunities, and improvements to database reliability, security, and cost efficiency.

Basic Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field, or equivalent professional experience.
5–8 years of experience in a Database Administrator or Database Engineer role supporting production environments.
Hands-on experience administering Microsoft SQL Server and PostgreSQL, with at least part of that experience in cloud or managed database platforms.
Experience supporting Amazon RDS for SQL Server and/or PostgreSQL.
Hands-on experience administering Snowflake, including performance monitoring and access management.
Experience operating databases in partnership with vendors, managed services, or professional services teams.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience transitioning responsibilities from outsourced DBAs to internal teams.
AWS certifications (Associate level or higher).
Snowflake certification or formal Snowflake training.
Experience supporting hybrid environments during cloud transitions.
