Unknown Company is hiring a Senior Database Reliability Engineer (DBRE) & Architect (worldwide remote)

About the Role

CloudLinux is hiring a Senior Database Reliability Engineer (DBRE) & Architect to lead the evolution of our data platform. You will transform classic database administration into an Internal Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) model, designing resilient distributed systems and transforming databases into a reliable service for product teams.

What You'll Do

  • Design and implement a self-service DBaaS platform using Terraform and Ansible to deploy HA clusters (PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, MongoDB, Redis) across a heterogeneous environment (Bare Metal, OpenNebula, Kubernetes, Public Clouds).
  • Manage and scale exponentially growing ClickHouse analytics clusters (12+ clusters, tens of terabytes of data), tackling sharding, table engine optimization (ReplicatedMergeTree), and building reliable S3 backup pipelines under high load.
  • Maintain and scale infrastructure for Apache Airflow and Redash, ensuring the reliability of ETL pipelines and visualization tools.
  • Implement SRE practices in data management, replacing manual incident response with automated self-healing and defining/implementing SLO/SLI for all databases.
  • Lead migration from legacy solutions to modern cloud patterns and participate in decision-making regarding Kubernetes operators for stateful workloads.
  • Serve as a technical authority for product teams, helping them optimize data schemas and SQL queries for high-load systems.

What We're Looking For

  • Deep experience designing and managing a self-service DBaaS or similar internal platform.
  • Expert-level knowledge in managing and scaling ClickHouse clusters, including sharding and performance optimization.
  • Proven experience automating database infrastructure at scale using infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform and Ansible.
  • Strong background implementing SRE/SLO practices for database services.
  • Experience operating databases across multiple environments, including Bare Metal, Kubernetes, and Public Clouds.
  • Ability to lead technical decision-making and serve as an authority for engineering teams on data-layer optimization.

Technical Stack

  • Databases: PostgreSQL 15+ (Patroni, PgBouncer), ClickHouse (Sharded/Replicated), MongoDB, Redis, Kafka
  • Platform & Orchestration: Apache Airflow, Redash, OpenNebula, Kubernetes, Bare Metal
  • Cloud Providers: AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, DO
  • Automation & IaC: Terraform, Ansible
  • Languages & Tools: Python/Go, GitLab, Jenkins, Gerrit
  • Monitoring & Observability: VictoriaMetrics, Grafana, Loki

Benefits & Compensation

  • Remote-first culture.
  • Professional development support, including paid training and conferences.
