The Opportunity

We are looking for a Senior Remote DBA who already operates at an expert level and wants to own the hardest problems our customers bring us. You will be a senior member of our global Remote DBA team. You'll be responsible for the health, performance and resilience of business-critical MariaDB environments for customers around the world, both on their own infrastructure and on MariaDB Cloud.

This is not a learning role. Customers and colleagues will rely on your judgment when a production cluster is down, a migration goes sideways, or an architecture needs to be rethought. You will work autonomously, make technical decisions, and explain them clearly to customer engineering teams. We are a "virtual" team, distributed globally and working over the internet. We make heavy use of email, Slack, the web, ssh and similar remote technologies. Because we provide coverage to our customers 24x7x365, this position involves on-call duty and occasional work on nights, weekends and holidays. We use our global team to minimize the impact as much as possible.
