  • High Availability & Disaster Recovery : Architect and manage high-availability solutions, including automatic failover and backup strategies. Implement and maintain auto-expanding storage using LVM and EBS volumes to meet growing data demands.
  • Collaboration & Process Improvement : Work closely with DevOps, infrastructure, and application teams to ensure seamless integration and robust performance. Develop documentation, procedures, and runbooks for backup, recovery, and routine maintenance.
  • Systems Administration : Manage underlying Linux systems supporting the PostgreSQL deployment. Ensure system-level security, stability, and scalability in a dynamic cloud environment.

  • High Availability & DR : Demonstrated expertise in designing and managing high-availability database systems with robust disaster recovery plans.

    • Bonus Qualifications

  • Direct experience with the CrunchyData PostgreSQL Operator.
  • Experience in environments where continuous uptime is critical (e.g., robotics, IoT).
