• 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.
