What they're looking for
- Deep hands-on experience operating AWS storage and databases at scale, especially Aurora or RDS (MySQL or PostgreSQL) and S3, including replication, read scaling, storage classes, and lifecycle management
- Capacity planning and forecasting experience: modeling time-series demand, load testing, and translating traffic into instance counts, sizes, and storage growth
- A track record of rightsizing infrastructure from utilization data (CPU, memory, IOPS, throughput, bytes stored) without hurting latency or availability
- Strong Python or Go engineering, with experience building automation that safely modifies production infrastructure (guardrails, progressive rollout, and rollback built in), not just systems that observe and report
- Familiarity with AWS storage and database pricing (S3 storage classes and requests, Aurora I/O-Optimized vs. Standard, Reserved Instances) is a strong plus
- Experience with bursty, event-driven workloads (trading, payments, ticketing) or with Spark, Airflow, or Kubernetes is a plus
