Sr. DevOps Engineer - Cloud, XSPM (Hybrid, ISR)

As a Senior DevOps Engineer within the XSPM team, you will be a critical, go-to technical expert responsible for the health, performance, and evolution of our database and infrastructure systems. When production databases degrade or behave unexpectedly, you are the person who dives deep, investigating root causes hands-on, understanding the underlying mechanics of the problem, and designing lasting solutions. Your mastery of database systems makes you the authority the team relies on to diagnose complex performance issues, architect better data solutions, and ensure our infrastructure scales with confidence.

Beyond databases, you will drive our DevOps practices end-to-end - CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, and operational reliability across the XSPM platform. This is a high-impact, highly visible role at the intersection of database engineering and DevOps, where your expertise directly shapes how the team delivers and operates at scale.

We're a highly collaborative, friendly, inclusive and diverse group that prizes collaboration over competition. We provide opportunities to learn new skills, mentor fellow engineers, and contribute to the direction of both the team and the products for which we're responsible. We work in a distributed, high-trust environment where you manage your own time and have the flexibility to balance your work and personal life.

What You Will Do:

Serve as the team's database expert, the first person to investigate, diagnose, and resolve complex performance problems across our production database systems (MongoDB, OpenSearch, PostgreSQL, Cassandra).

Perform deep-dive root cause analysis on database performance issues, understanding query execution internals, resource consumption patterns, cluster behavior, and system-level interactions to identify the real source of problems, not just symptoms.

Design and propose better database architectures and solutions, recommending when to re-architect data models, migrate workloads, introduce new technologies, or redesign how services interact with their data layer.

* You will put in every effort within the team to ensure the data architecture is well designed.

Own capacity planning, scaling strategies, and high-availability designs for database clusters, ensuring systems are built to handle the team's growth trajectory.

Act as the bridge between development and infrastructure, advising engineers on how their application patterns impact database performance and guiding them toward sustainable solutions.

Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Helm, Kubernetes manifests), and automated deployment workflows for the xspm team's services.

Design and manage observability stacks, dashboards, alerting rules, and SLOs, to maintain best-in-class availability for critical data pipelines and services.

Drive infrastructure automation to reduce operational toil, including automated scaling, self-healing systems, and configuration management.

Participate in on-call rotations, incident response, and post-incident reviews, driving root-cause analysis and long-term reliability improvements.

Evaluate and adopt new database technologies and infrastructure tooling that align with the team's evolving data architecture needs.
