We are growing the team behind our Autonomous Database Operations service. This is a role for a strong database engineer who wants to work in a fundamentally different way. You will not be manually tuning queries or working through a ticket queue. Instead, your expertise directly shapes the autonomous systems that do that work — across MS SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MariaDB environments running on AWS and Azure.
You will govern how the system resolves incidents, own the quality of its decisions, act as the expert escalation point for complex episodes that fall outside autonomous resolution, and work directly with customers on strategic database operations matters. Over time, you will deepen your coverage across all supported platforms and cloud environments.
This role is offered in Poland on a B2B contract basis, with remote working.
Essential Skills & Experience
- Database expertise.
- Solid commercial experience across two or more of the following platforms: MS SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB — with a clear ambition to develop across all five.
- Strong experience with performance tuning, query optimisation, indexing strategies, and capacity management in production environments.
- Sound understanding of database security, backup and recovery architecture, and compliance requirements.
- Cloud database experience.
- Hands-on experience with cloud-managed database services — such as Amazon RDS, Aurora, or Azure SQL Database — and an understanding of how operational practice differs in cloud-native environments compared to on-premises installations.
- Familiarity with AWS or Azure platform fundamentals: monitoring, alerting, identity and access management, and infrastructure-as-code practices as they apply to database operations.
- Automation mindset.
- A demonstrated instinct for automation — you reach for a script or pipeline before a manual fix, and you have a track record of eliminating repetitive operational work rather than just supplementing it.
- Comfort reading and adapting existing automation, even if you have not previously designed end-to-end remediation pipelines from scratch.
- Operational judgment.
- The ability to assess a complex database situation quickly, decide on the right course of action, and communicate clearly under pressure.
- Comfort with ambiguity and ownership in a fast-moving environment where customer estates vary and problems are not always well-defined.
Desirable Qualifications
Participate in an on-call rotation for complex episodes requiring human judgment outside standard business hours — the majority of incidents are handled autonomously, so genuine out-of-hours intervention is the exception rather than the rule.
