Database Expertise: Be an expert at deploying, configuring, and maintaining CloudSQL/PostgreSQL (main focus), MSSQL (migration from), MySQL, and MongoDB. Understand the nuances between them and how to leverage cloud-native solutions effectively
Data Lifecycle & Ownership: Understand that data value extends beyond the production database. Take ownership of the pipelines and processing layers, ensuring they are as performant and reliable as the core engine. You are not afraid to dig into complex, "unsolvable" problems, working closely with developers and infra teams to ensure the database layer is a seamless part of the application stack (Mindset of Total Ownership)
Performance & Cost Optimization: Be an expert at query tuning and instance right-sizing to drive efficiency and cloud cost-savings
Security & Compliance: Implement encryption at rest/transit, row-level security, and PII masking, ensuring our environments consistently exceed SOC2, GDPR, and other global compliance standards
Reliability & Disaster Recovery: Design and implement High Availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery strategies that actually work. Drive system stability and ensure zero data loss
Observability: Be proficient with monitoring and proactively identify bottlenecks before they impact users. Integrate database observability into our global monitoring stack, treating the database as a first-class citizen in our infrastructure-as-code ecosystem (SRE Integration)
Migration Leadership: Have the steady hand required to lead complex data migrations and schema changes across diverse environments with minimal downtime
Collaboration & Enablement: Partner with Application Architects during the design phase to ensure data models are scalable and cost-efficient from day one. Mentor developers and build tooling that helps the entire team write and deploy better code and schemas (Developer Enablement). Participate in collaborative designing, problem-solving, and knowledge sharing as an active member of our global engineering community (Team First)
Agile Execution: Operate and manage workflow through Jira, participating in continuous planning to ensure the data roadmap directly drives and supports Finalsite's broader business goals
Data-Driven Outcomes: Drive and measure results, working with leadership to define and hit key performance and reliability metrics
AI-Driven Work: Utilize a cutting-edge toolkit including AI coding assistants and automated tuning agents to eliminate toil
