As a Senior Database Administrator, you are a part of a technical team that architects, builds, maintains, scales, monitors, and secures the Housecall Pro cloud infrastructure. This team promotes flexibility and autonomy and empowers you with creative freedom and ownership in your work. You are a part of the DevOps department, inside the larger engineering team, collaborating to drive performance, resilience, reliability and availability in our Database systems. Your ultimate goal is to enable engineering to help good Pros become great Pros, by creating a solid, flexible, and stable foundation that enables us to ship quickly in the face of massive growth. You face challenges with systems running real users and data with imagination, tenacity, and attention to detail. You are motivated to follow your curiosity into solutions, answers, and actions. Your superpower is empowering engineers with a Data First mindset, enabling others to make great decisions governing the storage, transmission, retrieval, and analysis of our data.

In your daily routine, you will: 

• Enjoy a mixture of schema design, reliability engineering, query and performance tuning, and operations work
• Build infrastructure in a public cloud using Infrastructure as Code techniques
• Collaborate with release engineering and delivery teams to optimize schema and data migrations, as part of our Agile development process
• Build, maintain, and monitor data persistence systems (ACID-compliant OLTP, OLAP, Search and KV/NoSQL) in our cloud environments with an eye to both flexibility and long-term viability
• Provide technical assistance, architectural insights, and individual contributor work across engineering
• Mentor, pair, and imbue delivery teams with techniques and data access patterns to improve our applications’ interface with our data tier
• Work directly with feature teams to optimize the development experience

• Having a real impact on technical decisions without breaking through the corporate, glass ceiling;

• Rapidly growing teams that create a defined career path.

We think that this offer is for you if you:

• 5+ years of MySQL (8.0) and 3+ years of PostgreSQL administration and scaling experience
• Strong experience with traditional OLAP systems, ETL and associated Data Engineering and Data Warehouse practices
• Strong expertise in managing growing datasets using techniques like Partitioning, Sharding, Caching, Archiving, and Clustering

• Understanding of distributed systems and tradeoffs between consistency, availability, and partition tolerance
• Demonstrate a strong passion for using AI technologies to enhance productivity, quality, and innovation
• Curiosity and drive to stay ahead of emerging AI/ML technologies and their practical applications

🔝And also, you get extra points for:

• Experience with Redshift, or Snowflake administration

• Experience with Elasticsearch/Opensearch in a cloud environment
• High-level written and verbal communication skills with the ability to work with team members from across the globe
