## About the role

This role owns data resilience and continuity, and the scope test is simple: if losing it loses data, or makes data unavailable, it’s yours. The job exists so that data-layer failure modes — storage contention, replica lag, region loss — are found and retired in drills, not discovered in production. Our reliability doctrine is to assume failure and concentrate statefulness into a small core of systems proven against specific failure modes.

## What they're looking for

- Five or more years running production PostgreSQL at meaningful scale — ideally on RDS or Aurora — with depth in the internals: replication, WAL mechanics, MVCC and vacuum behavior, query planning and performance
- You’ve owned the full lifecycle of data somewhere, not just the query path: retention, backup and restore, access control, and security posture
- Disaster-recovery experience you can talk through concretely — failovers you designed, drills you ran, and what they changed
- Infrastructure fluency: infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or similar), scripting (Python, bash, SQL), Linux, and cloud storage/IOPS characteristics
- An SRE sensibility: SLOs, blameless postmortems, and a preference for rehearsed over improvised
- Clear writing — you leave runbooks and decision records behind you
