Experience: 4–9 years, data/database/platform engineering in demanding production environments.

Bonus: Kafka/Debezium (CDC), Redis, Flyway/Liquibase, GDPR/DPDP exposure.

Mactores is the agent-native AWS modernization firm. Most modernization work doesn't ship, it stalls in pilots, slips a year, or lands at three times the budget. We exist to ship it: production systems running, legacy retired, outcomes measured. Our delivery is built on Aedeon, the agent platform built by Mactores' founders' sister company, which absorbs the repetitive 60–70% of engagement work, discovery, dependency mapping, validation, test generation, that traditional consulting bills human hours against. Forward-deployed engineers own the rest: architecture, judgment, and cutover, on dates we commit to in the contract.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Database Developer to lead and support Oracle to PostgreSQL/Aurora PostgreSQL migration initiatives. The role involves deep hands-on work across SQL refactoring, schema conversion, DMS operations, performance tuning, and post–go-live stabilization. The candidate will work closely with application teams, cloud engineers, and stakeholders to ensure a smooth, performant, and compliant migration.

What you will do?

• Refactor and convert Oracle SQL, PL/SQL, and database objects to PostgreSQL-compatible SQL/PLpgSQL.
• Analyze and remediate AWS SCT (Schema Conversion Tool) findings and limitations.
• Manage and maintain Flyway migration codebase (versioned scripts, repeatable migrations, rollbacks).
• Identify, troubleshoot, and fix database-related application bugs.
• Perform query optimization for PostgreSQL (execution plans, indexing strategies, query rewrites).
• Support and monitor AWS DMS during full load and CDC phases.
• Diagnose and resolve DMS data and performance issues.
• Perform data validation and reconciliation between Oracle and PostgreSQL.
• Collaborate with application teams to align SQL behavior and performance expectations.

What are we looking for?

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience as an Oracle/PostgreSQL DBA and database developer.
• Strong experience with Oracle Database and PostgreSQL / Aurora PostgreSQL.
• Hands-on expertise in Oracle to PostgreSQL migration.
• Advanced SQL and query performance tuning skills.
• Experience with AWS SCT and AWS DMS.
• Knowledge of Flyway/Liquibase or similar schema migration tools.
• PostgreSQL internals: indexing, statistics, execution plans.
• AWS services: RDS/Aurora, CloudWatch, IAM (preferred).

You will be preferred if:

• Familiarity with automation and configuration management tools, such as Ansible, Chef, or Puppet.
• Familiarity with IAAC tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation.
• Familiarity with CI/CD implementation tools like Liquibase/Flyway.
• AWS Certified Database – Specialty.
• AWS Certified Solutions Architect.

You'll own heterogeneous database migrations end to end for enterprise customers moving off Oracle and SQL Server onto PostgreSQL and Aurora PostgreSQL. That means running the AWS DMS and SCT toolchain, then doing the part the tools can't: rebuilding procedural business logic in PL/pgSQL when SCT flags a gap it can't close on its own. You ship the runbook, you run the cutover, you validate the result. 

What you'll do?

• Lead end-to-end database migration initiatives, including assessment, planning, schema conversion, execution, and post-migration validation.
• Design, configure, and manage AWS DMS and SCT environments while ensuring migration quality, performance, and reliability.
• Author comprehensive migration runbooks that define execution procedures, validation checkpoints, rollback plans, and operational readiness activities.
• Perform database migration assessments, dependency analysis, compatibility reviews, and migration strategy recommendations.
• Collaborate with infrastructure, application, security, and platform teams to ensure successful migration outcomes.
• Drive migration testing activities, including functional validation, performance testing, failover testing, and production readiness reviews.
• Provide technical leadership and guidance to migration teams while ensuring adherence to AWS migration best practices and governance standards.
• Lead conversion and refactoring of procedural database code — Oracle PL/SQL (packages, procedures, functions, triggers, cursors) and SQL Server T-SQL (stored procedures, functions, triggers) — into PostgreSQL/Aurora PostgreSQL PL/pgSQL, resolving semantic and behavioral differences identified by SCT.

What we're looking for?

• 8–12 years of professional experience in database architecture and migration delivery
• Hands-on expertise in AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) and AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT) for enterprise-scale database migrations
• Deep proficiency in Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and Aurora PostgreSQL environments, including migration planning, execution, and optimization
• Proven background in delivering heterogeneous database migrations across on-premises, cloud, and AWS environments
• Knowledge of production database operations, including backup and restore strategies, parameter tuning, performance optimization, and failover testing
• Skills in authoring and executing migration runbooks, validation plans, cutover procedures, rollback strategies, and post-migration stabilization activities
• Strong understanding of AWS database services, migration best practices, and integration with broader cloud migration programs
• Experience engaging directly with enterprise customers, architecture teams, and migration stakeholders to drive successful delivery outcomes
• Strong hands-on experience converting Oracle PL/SQL and SQL Server T-SQL business logic to PL/pgSQL, including handling of exception handling models, cursor semantics, autonomous transactions, sequences/identity columns, implicit data type conversions, and proprietary built-in packages/functions with no native PostgreSQL equivalent
• Ability to identify and remediate SCT action items and manual conversion gaps in procedural code (e.g., DBMS_* packages, UTL_* utilities, SQL Server system procedures, dynamic SQL, and nested/recursive procedure calls) and validate converted logic through functional and regression testing.

You'll be preferred if you

• Have tuned production database performance, backup and restore strategy, and failover testing in high-stakes environments.
• Have led migration teams or mentored engineers through complex conversions.
• Bring experience with broader AWS cloud migration programs beyond the database layer.

About the Role

Unico Connect is an AI-first technology partner that builds custom mobile, web, and AI products for clients across multiple geographies. We are hiring a Backend Engineer for a dedicated client engagement building an AI-powered application builder platform.

The backend is the operational core of the product: it manages user projects and sessions, coordinates long-running AI agent workloads, maintains project state, and serves as the integration layer between the frontend, the AI system, and the underlying infrastructure.

The mandatory requirement is hands-on production experience shipping Node.js services, with end-to-end ownership of API design, data modelling, and at least one production system involving background job processing or event-driven patterns.

Responsibilities

API and service development: Design and build REST APIs in Node.js with TypeScript. Cover authentication, session management, input validation, structured error handling, streaming responses (SSE, WebSockets), and rate limiting. Maintain clean API contracts that the frontend and AI system can rely on.

Database design and management: Own PostgreSQL schema design for product domains including user accounts, projects, file trees, session state, and generated artefacts. Write efficient queries, manage migrations, and optimise for read patterns that serve a real-time editor experience.

Caching strategy: Implement and maintain caching with Redis for session data, project state, and frequently read configuration. Design cache invalidation logic that keeps the editor experience consistent without stale reads.

Queue and background job management: Implement and operate background job infrastructure using BullMQ or equivalent. AI agent runs are long-running and stateful; handle retries, failure states, priority queues, and concurrency limits.

AI system integration: Build the integration layer between the backend and the AI agent system. Manage job dispatch, result handling, streaming output to the frontend, and error propagation.

Multi-tenancy and access control: Implement tenant data isolation, RBAC, and resource ownership enforcement across all API surfaces.

Observability and reliability: Instrument services with structured logging, metrics, and tracing. Write defensive code with sensible timeouts, fallback behaviour, and circuit breaking on external dependencies.

Testing and code quality: Write unit and integration tests for the services you ship. Review the work of peers and contribute to shared engineering conventions.

Requirements

• Hands-on production Node.js experience (mandatory) — must have personally shipped at least one feature area end to end in a production Node.js service, owning API design, data modelling, and testing.

• 3 to 5 years of professional backend engineering experience. Candidates with slightly less time but strong demonstrated ownership are welcome to apply.

• Strong Node.js and TypeScript. Production experience with Express, NestJS, or Fastify. Solid with async patterns, streaming, error handling, and building services that run reliably under sustained load.

• PostgreSQL depth. Schema design, query writing, indexing, and migrations on at least one production system.

• Redis and caching. Production experience using Redis for caching and session management. Understands cache invalidation trade-offs.

• Queue and background job systems. Hands-on with BullMQ, RabbitMQ, SQS, or equivalent. Experience managing retries, dead-letter queues, job priority, and concurrency control.

• AWS working knowledge. Comfortable with EC2, S3, RDS, SQS, and IAM. Familiar with Docker and basic deployment and environment management.

• Strong written and spoken English. Able to communicate clearly with engineers across disciplines and write precise technical documentation.

Nice to Have

Experience integrating with AI or LLM services (streaming responses, structured outputs, retry patterns); WebSocket or SSE implementation for real-time features; multi-tenant SaaS product experience; GraphQL; OpenTelemetry instrumentation; prior work on developer tools or editor-style products.
