What you will do
Maintain high availability of production database systems and keep them performing well.
Plan for and carry out disaster recovery, ensuring zero data loss in case of disaster.
Keep database systems secure, including access control, and adhere to security protocols.
Analyze and tune database performance, and diagnose difficult performance issues.
Work closely with engineers on system design, performance tuning and technical support.
Operate hands-on in an extremely technical environment, administering the data systems that support the Glassdoor website.
Stay composed under pressure and navigate extremely stressful situations.

Mid-level with 3 to 4 years of hands-on experience in the skills listed below.

Experience with AWS, particularly RDS and Aurora.
Programming experience with PowerShell or Python.




Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools, such as Terraform.
Experience with Kafka (Confluent Kafka), such as administration and troubleshooting.
Extensive experience with performance analysis and tuning.
Experience working closely with engineering teams, including requirements gathering, design reviews and delivering work on tight deadlines.
Experience administering high-function, high-availability production systems.
