Role Description We are seeking a visionary engineer to lead the evolution of our data platform. In 2025, we are shifting from classic database administration to an Internal Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) model. We need a specialist who doesn’t just "configure backups," but designs resilient distributed systems, writes code to automate infrastructure, and transforms databases into a reliable service for product teams. If you are tired of endless tickets and want to build platforms capable of processing petabytes of data, this role is for you. - DBaaS Architecture: Design and implement a self-service platform based on Terraform and Ansible, enabling the deployment of HA clusters (PostgreSQL and ClickHouse, MongoDB, Redis) in a heterogeneous environment (Bare Metal + OpenNebula + Kubernetes + Public Clouds). - Scaling ClickHouse: Manage exponentially growing analytics clusters (12+ clusters, tens of terabytes of data). Tackle sharding, table engine optimization (ReplicatedMergeTree), and build reliable S3 backup pipelines under high load. - Data Platform & Analytics Support: Maintain and scale the infrastructure for Apache Airflow and Redash. Ensure the reliability of ETL pipelines and visualization tools, bridging the gap between raw infrastructure and the data analytics team. - Reliability as Code: Implement SRE practices in data management. Replace manual incident response with automated self-healing mechanisms. Define and implement SLO/SLI for all databases. - Stack Modernization: Lead the migration process from legacy solutions to modern cloud patterns. Participate in decision-making regarding the implementation of Kubernetes operators for stateful workloads. - Expertise & Mentorship: Serve as the technical authority for product teams, helping them optimize data schemas and SQL queries for high-load systems. Qualifications - AI-Augmented Engineering: You don't view AI as a replacement for deep technical fundamentals, but as a high-leverage tool. - Deep PostgreSQL Expertise (5+ years): Knowledge of MVCC internals, locking mechanics, and experience with seamless major version upgrades under load. - ClickHouse Mastery: Experience operating large clusters and understanding ZooKeeper/ClickHouse Keeper, sharding, and replication internals. - Engineering Mindset (SRE/DevOps): Experience writing complex Terraform modules and Ansible roles is mandatory. - Hybrid Environment Experience: Understanding of running DBs on Bare Metal vs. Kubernetes vs. Cloud. - Systems Approach: Ability to see the big picture from the network packet to application business logic. Requirements - Experience building an Internal Developer Platform (IDP). - Experience operating databases in Kubernetes (CloudNativePG, Altinity Operator). - Experience working in Cloud and Hosting providers on similar services. Benefits - A focus on professional development. - Interesting and challenging projects. - Fully remote work with flexible working hours. - Paid 24 days of vacation per year, 10 days of national holidays, and unlimited sick leaves. - Compensation for private medical insurance. - Co-working and gym/sports reimbursement. - Budget for education. - The opportunity to receive a reward for the most innovative idea that the company can patent.
