- Terraform (infrastructure-as-code)
You'll:
- Design schemas, partitioning strategies, and lead the Postgres → Cassandra migration end-to-end
- Own PostgreSQL performance, replication, and zero-downtime schema changes
- Build Python-based automation to eliminate repetitive DB work
- Own CI/CD pipelines and Terraform-based infra provisioning
- Drive uptime, DR, monitoring, and incident response
- Own multi-tenant security (RLS, least-privilege access) and data governance
Experience: 4–9 years, data/database/platform engineering in demanding production environments.
Bonus: Kafka/Debezium (CDC), Redis, Flyway/Liquibase, GDPR/DPDP exposure.
