Remote DevOps DBA

Shape the Future of Scalable Data—From Anywhere

Imagine building the bridge between development and data reliability—every day. As a Remote DevOps DBA, you won’t just maintain systems; you’ll be the architect ensuring that engineering teams ship confidently, every deployment is resilient, and databases never become bottlenecks. With $110,000 annually, you’ll drive meaningful change at the intersection of DevOps automation, database design, and cloud infrastructure. If you thrive on both detail and big-picture strategy, this is where your impact can be multiplied.

Why This Role Matters

Your work won’t live in the background. Every query you optimize and every pipeline you automate shapes how fast features go live, how well users are served, and how the business scales. You’ll partner with backend engineers to build solutions that tens of thousands of users trust every day—transforming infrastructure complexity into seamless reliability. Here, you’ll be empowered to innovate, not just maintain.

What Success Looks Like

• Building high-availability database clusters that let product teams iterate fearlessly.
• Implementing automated backups, failover strategies, and performance tuning so developers can focus on new features—not database fires.
• Creating CI/CD workflows that push database changes as easily as application code with zero downtime deployments.
• Leading incident response with calm precision, translating root causes into preventative measures.
• Sharing new best practices—whether that’s simplifying replication setup over Slack or mentoring a junior developer via Zoom.

Your Core Responsibilities

Elevate Database Reliability

• Engineer, monitor, and optimize database architectures for scalability and uptime across cloud and hybrid environments.
• Use automation tools to deploy schema changes, manage configurations, and ensure compliance without manual bottlenecks.
• Continuously assess security posture, applying updates and hardening protocols before vulnerabilities can be exploited.

Accelerate DevOps Synergy

• Partner with DevOps and engineering teams to build automated CI/CD pipelines for all database code and configuration.
• Instrument monitoring and alerting systems—your dashboards will be the pulse-check for our platform’s health.
• Drive post-mortem reviews that foster learning and continuous improvement, not blame.

Lead Through Collaboration

• You’ll simplify the complex—explaining query optimization in ways everyone understands, whether it’s over a video call or async chat.
• Document every new process or improvement, making it easy for the next engineer to keep pace.
• Collaborate with QA to ensure seamless database rollouts and data consistency across all environments.

Tech Environment & Tools

You’ll work with modern stacks—think PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and NoSQL at scale, orchestrated in AWS, Azure, or GCP. Infrastructure as Code? That’s standard here. From Terraform to Kubernetes, Ansible to Jenkins, you’ll be empowered to introduce the tools you trust and push our workflows further. Your data-driven mindset will help us build monitoring that goes beyond metrics, offering actionable insights into every layer of the stack.

What You Bring

• Proven expertise in managing mission-critical databases in cloud-first environments, balancing stability with agility.
• Hands-on experience with database automation, monitoring, and recovery—show us how you’ve turned downtime into uptime.
• You simplify complex concepts—making even the most advanced sharding or replication setup feel accessible to the team.
• You believe documentation and transparency are as necessary as code—your processes make collaboration second nature.
• Deep knowledge of backup strategies, high-availability clusters, and performance tuning in environments where speed and reliability matter.

Work Culture & Growth

You’ll find a workplace that moves quickly but gives you the space and tools to focus intensely. We prioritize outcomes, not hours logged. Remote-first isn’t an afterthought here—it’s built into how we work. From virtual stand-ups to async troubleshooting and Slack channels buzzing with ideas, you’ll always be connected.

Your growth is our priority. Expect mentorship, sponsored certifications, and a feedback culture that’s direct, positive, and designed to help you do your best work. We celebrate experimentation and reward initiative—because every innovation starts with someone asking, “What if…?”

Compensation & Perks

• Annual salary: $110,000
• Flexible, remote work—your office is wherever you’re most productive
• Professional development budget for training, conferences, and certifications
• Generous PTO, wellness programs, and robust healthcare benefits
• Supportive team environment where your voice drives change
