The Database Team
Our Database team is responsible for ensuring the performance, availability, and integrity of data across mission-critical systems. They design, operate, and optimize scalable database architectures across on-prem and cloud environments, with a strong focus on reliability, security, and performance. The team also drives automation for database provisioning, monitoring, backup, and recovery, while continuously improving query efficiency and system resilience. Working closely with engineering and platform teams, they ensure data is always accessible, consistent, and ready to support business growth at scale.

- Analyze, design, and maintain both relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL on AWS RDS, Aurora) and NoSQL (MongoDB on Atlas) databases across cloud platforms (AWS, OCI).
- Provision, configure, and manage databases using Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS)



tools like AWS RDS, Aurora, MongoDB Atlas, and OCI Autonomous DB.
- Monitor performance and availability of managed databases using native monitoring tools (e.g., CloudWatch, Performance Insights, Atlas Metrics).
- Define and manage parameter groups, read replicas, and scaling configurations in DBaaS environments.
- Implement automated backup strategies, snapshot policies, and cross-region replication for high availability and disaster recovery.
- Ensure data encryption at rest and in transit, using cloud-native KMS tools or customer-managed keys.
- Control and audit database access using IAM roles, VPC security, network whitelisting, and fine‑grained user roles.
- Optimize cost and performance using DBaaS features such as auto‑scaling, query tuning, indexing, and storage tiering.
