WHY YOUR ROLE MATTERS
As a Senior Linux Engineer - Databases, you take ownership of the availability, performance, and reliability of our database platforms that underpin real-time and latency-sensitive workloads across i3D.net http://i3D.net’s global infrastructure.
You operate at the intersection of database engineering, Linux systems, and platform automation, ensuring that our database environments are consumable by our internal teams, scalable, resilient, and observable. The infrastructure you work on runs in i3D.net http://i3D.net’s own data centers, giving you direct exposure to the full vertical stack, from bare metal, Linux management and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) to Kubernetes, database clustering, and load balancing.
The role spans the full lifecycle of database platforms, from designing the service for consumptions by our internal product teams, supporting in the deployment of new clusters, automating operations, improving performance, and supporting mission critical production environments.
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
- 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.
- CI/CD for database platforms: You integrate database changes into CI/CD pipelines, supporting safe and repeatable deployments, schema changes, and configuration updates across staging and production.
- Monitoring and observability: You implement and maintain monitoring and alerting for database platforms using tools such as Prometheus and Grafana, ensuring clear visibility into performance, capacity, and reliability.
- Security and reliability: You apply security best practices to database platforms, including access control, encryption, and compliance requirements, while continuously improving availability and recovery processes.
- Collaboration and knowledge sharing: You work closely with platform, DevOps, and application teams, sharing knowledge, improving internal tooling, and supporting incident reviews and continuous improvement.
