Responsibilities
- Manage and maintain the Kubernetes infrastructure supporting the Database-as-a-Service offering, handling cluster setup, updates, resource planning, and ongoing stability.
- Operate relational database systems like PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB as stateful applications on Kubernetes using operators and persistent storage, prioritizing high availability, backup capabilities, and data protection.
- Connect the DBaaS environment with OpenStack components such as Nova, Cinder, and Neutron, ensuring proper configuration of networking, storage, and compute for isolated tenant workloads.
- Create automated workflows and infrastructure-as-code solutions using Terraform, Ansible, Python, and Bash to manage deployment, configuration, updates, and lifecycle operations.
- Establish monitoring and observability systems with Prometheus and Grafana to track performance and health metrics, logs, and alerts for both Kubernetes and database layers.
- Develop and maintain operational documentation, SRE methodologies, and incident response protocols, serving as a senior responder in on-call rotations.
- Partner with database architects and development teams to define service level indicators, performance targets, and controlled processes for schema and platform changes.
- Enforce platform-wide security standards including role-based access control, network segmentation, encryption for data at rest and in transit, and secure handling of credentials in shared environments.
- Engage with early adopters and internal teams to gather feedback, assist with integration, and provide guidance on effective platform usage.
- Drive continuous improvement by identifying and resolving issues related to system reliability, performance, and ease of operation through iterative development.

Responsibilities
- Own and operate the Kubernetes platform that powers DBaaS, including cluster provisioning, upgrades, capacity planning, and day-to-day reliability.
- Run relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB) as managed stateful workloads on Kubernetes using operators, StatefulSets, and persistent storage, with a focus on HA, backup/restore, and security.
- Integrate DBaaS with the underlying OpenStack infrastructure (Nova, Cinder, Neutron), ensuring networking, storage, and compute resources are configured correctly for multi-tenant database workloads.
- Design and implement automation and infrastructure-as-code for the platform using tools such as Terraform, Ansible, and Python/Bash, covering provisioning, configuration, upgrades, and lifecycle management.
- Build and maintain observability for DBaaS using Prometheus, Grafana, and related tools, including metrics, logs, alerts, and dashboards that surface health and performance of both Kubernetes and database workloads.
- Develop and document runbooks, SRE practices, and incident response procedures for DBaaS, and participate in on-call rotations as a senior escalation point.
- Work with database architects and application teams to define SLIs/SLOs, capacity and performance expectations, and safe change-management processes for database schemas and platform upgrades.
- Implement and enforce security best practices across the platform, including RBAC, network policies, encryption at rest and in transit, secrets management, and access controls for multi-tenant environments.
- Collaborate with early customers and internal stakeholders to understand their requirements, support onboarding to DBaaS, and guide them in using the platform effectively.
- Continuously improve the platform by identifying reliability, performance, and usability bottlenecks and delivering iterative enhancements that make DBaaS more robust and easier to operate.
