Principal Database Administrator - PostGres

Aug. 20, 2021, 11:36 a.m.

The Ops team at Rally is not your average "Ops" team. Yes, this team is the engine that keeps the train running, but to do that, we have 2 core virtues: 1) Everything must be self-service and 2) promote autonomy. Self-service tooling is core to our mission to allow ourselves to increase our impact with a growing workforce. Our dev teams deploy their own services, troubleshoot their own databases and performance, but when it gets real, we're there to collaborate. Our data is our lifeblood, so keeping it safe, secure, and available is of the utmost importance. You will report to the Manager of Engineering, Ops that oversees cloud application data systems.

You Will:

• Partner with application engineering teams to ensure that our database infrastructure is prepared to serve our millions of customers today and into the future
• Monitor database performance, holistically address systemic issues
• Build processes to ensure self-service database provisioning for broad engineering use (i.e. databases as a push-button service)
• Provide expertise and tooling to engineers for common database functions (version upgrades, migrations, seeding, testing, and performance monitoring)
• Work with security, audit, and compliance teams to certify we're following policy

You Have:

• You have deep experience administering one or more resident data technologies for at least 5 years (MongoDB, Postgres, Casandra, Etcd, ElasticSearch or Kafka)
• Proficiency in a high-level language such as Ruby, Python, Go, Node or the like
• Professional experience with AWS or equivalent cloud platform
• Familiarity with configuration management and automation software (Ansible, Terraform, CloudFormation)
• Worked in a regulated (HIPAA, SOC) consumer SaaS environment
