Database Engineer (SQL Server & MongoDB)

About Us
Tech9 is shaking up a 20-year-old industry, and we're not slowing down. Recognized by Inc. 5000 as one of the nation's fastest-growing companies, we are dedicated to building innovative, highly complex web applications. Our team is passionate about delivering quality software that meets the highest standards. We offer a 100% remote working environment with a collaborative and supportive team, allowing you to focus on what you do best.

Role Overview
We are seeking highly skilled and versatile Database Engineers located in India to join our growing team. This role requires expertise in both SQL Server and MongoDB—with a strong focus on cloud-based database management in AWS environments, performance tuning, and cross-functional collaboration with development and architecture teams.

This is not a routine DBA role. We are looking for professionals who can own full-stack database responsibilities, from installations and HA configurations to query optimization and architecture discussions.

Responsibilities

MongoDB DBA

  • Install, configure, and maintain MongoDB multi-shard clusters for optimal performance and high availability.

  • Monitor database health, performance, and security; troubleshoot and resolve issues.

  • Design and implement backup, recovery, and disaster recovery strategies.

  • Manage database user access, roles, and security policies.

  • Collaborate with development teams to optimize queries and data models.

  • Plan and implement migrations of MongoDB clusters from AWS EC2 to MongoDB Atlas.

SQL Server DBA

  • Administer Microsoft SQL Server, including installation, configuration, backups, and monitoring.

  • Write and optimize complex SQL queries, stored procedures, and T-SQL code.

  • Design schemas and indexes for performance and scalability.

  • Host, manage, and secure SQL Server databases in AWS (EC2, RDS, FSx, VPC configuration, etc.).

  • Implement high availability and disaster recovery solutions (replication, clustering, automated failover).

Cross-Functional & Cloud Responsibilities

  • Provide AWS infrastructure support related to database deployments, configuration, and operations.

  • Collaborate with developers and architects on data modeling, indexing, and schema design.

  • Participate in architecture and performance discussions, providing technical leadership.

  • Maintain a security-first mindset, ensuring compliance with policies and best practices.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of combined experience as a SQL Server and MongoDB DBA.

  • Strong expertise in AWS-managed database services and cloud infrastructure.

  • Hands-on experience with installation, configuration, and optimization of databases in AWS.

  • Proven experience with performance tuning and query optimization.

  • Versatile technical skill set; full-stack mindset preferred.

  • Strong communication skills with the ability to stand their ground and contribute effectively in cross-functional, US-based teams.

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent experience.

Interview Process Overview

The process is designed to be thoughtful, efficient, and focused on both technical ability and team fit.

  • 30-minute on-demand HireVue screening, where you'll respond to situational and behavioral questions to help us understand your ownership mindset, adaptability, and approach to collaboration.
  • 10-minute virtual Q&A session with our recruiter to clarify the role and answer any questions you may have. This is not an interview, just a conversation to ensure alignment.
  • 60-minute live technical interview with a member of our team.
  • 15-30 minute chat with the hiring manger
  • 30-60-minute session with the client

Why Join Us?

  • Challenging Problems: Tackle complex, high-impact database and infrastructure challenges.

  • Flexibility: Work remotely from anywhere in India with a flexible environment.

  • Collaboration: Partner with talented engineers and architects across global teams.

  • Growth: Opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies in cloud and database engineering.
