As a Database Engineer, you will establish yourself as a trusted technologist by helping ensure overall satisfaction. Product Development and Product Management will rely on you to provide database optimization strategies for the solutions that the client provides. It is crucial that you become an advocate for our internal clients, our operating model and technology strategies, as you will be responsible for engineering automated methods of database management that drive inherent cost-effective efficiencies.
You will represent the business unit as a designated database engineer for assigned projects. You should be comfortable creating and reviewing complex code and documentation across many disparate technologies, with a strong knowledge of cloud-enabled development and an aspiration to quickly understand complex proprietary infrastructure architecture. Your responsibility is to engineer and maintain methods of optimization in managing performance-oriented data structures for supported applications. This role will work closely with project teams to ensure performance testing requirements are completed and the results meet client expectations.This role must manage diverse system platforms and product lines and be able to adapt quickly to unfamiliar technologies. It is critical that you continually learn and maintain current knowledge of Solutions and industry-standard development practices and technologies to provide optimal database engineering strategies for various solutions. At times, you will be called upon to prioritize and drive resolution on escalated incidents or problems that occur in production.You will be a key resource to drive efficiencies through process improvements while developing repeatable automated database optimization methodologies. A key characteristic in the success of this role will be technical aptitude. The creation of new, and the maintenance of the existing automated database engineering toolsets, requires programming experience. It is critical that you know how to leverage CI/CD pipeline technologies such as Ansible and Jenkins in developing database optimization playbooks that drive optimal application performance. You must also exercise strong problem-solving skills with limited assistance.You will become a Subject Matter Expert for the products assigned to you and a “Go To” technical resource for standard quality assurance best practices. This will bring a great sense of accomplishment for you personally in achieving the goals of the organization and most importantly our clients.
