Why your role matters
As a Senior Database Reliability Engineer, you own the availability, scalability, and performance of our MariaDB/MySQL platforms that power real time and latency sensitive services across i3D.net's global infrastructure.
You design, build, and operate highly available database platforms that are reliable, observable, and easy for our internal engineering teams to consume. From provisioning new database clusters and automating operations to improving performance and supporting mission critical production workloads, you play a key role in ensuring our services remain fast, resilient, and always available.
Because i3D.net operates its own global infrastructure, you work across the full technology stack. Alongside database engineering, you'll work closely with Linux, Kubernetes, Infrastructure-as-Code, and platform automation to build modern database services rather than simply administer databases.
Key Responsibilities
-
Design and build database platforms: You design, build, and evolve highly available RDBMS platforms, ensuring they are resilient, scalable, and aligned with platform standards across multiple environments.
-
Operate and optimize database clusters: You manage multi-environment database clusters, including replication, failover, backups, and performance tuning, using components such as Kubernetes and load balancers.
-
Automate database operations: You automate database provisioning, configuration, upgrades, and maintenance using IaC, reducing manual effort and increasing consistency across environments.
-
Linux and systems ownership: You take responsibility for the Linux systems running database workloads, handling day-to-day operations, troubleshooting, and system-level tuning in bare metal and hybrid setups.
