Senior Database Administrator

You will join a senior team of DBAs, SREs, and platform engineers responsible for the database and vector data platforms behind Kraken's most critical services. The group combines deep operational expertise with a platform mindset: we design systems that let engineering teams move quickly while preserving strong guarantees around performance, correctness, security, and reliability. The team is entering an important phase of evolution as Kraken continues to expand globally and as AI-enabled product and internal platform use cases grow. Over the next year, we are focused on strengthening PostgreSQL operational excellence, building reliable vector data capabilities, preparing for significant future scale, and increasing automation and self-service so database operations become safer and more efficient at scale. This is not a traditional keep-the-lights-on DBA team. Our work centers on scaling high-throughput PostgreSQL environments, operating vector search and embedding stores with production discipline, shaping reliable patterns for high-traffic systems, and transforming operational knowledge into automated, auditable workflows that uplift the engineering organization.
