As the team scales to support live, high-traffic events year-round, we're splitting that org into two focused disciplines so each can go deeper: Infrastructure Engineering, and Database Reliability Engineering- this role.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">You'll own database infrastructure, data lifecycle and management strategy, and live-event operational readiness. You'll partner closely with the Infrastructure Manager on shared systems and help develop the database team's next generation of technical leaders — we are looking for someone focused on supporting and growing the team around them.</span></p> <h1><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"><strong>What You'll Do</strong></span></h1> <ul> <li style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Own cloud database infrastructure - AlloyDB, Redis, Kafka and others, capacity planning, and database vendor management, including commitment/CUD strategy and spend accountability.</span></li> <li style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Support our identity and access modernization - an inclusive, workflow-aware migration to a modern identity platform, with appropriate limits on high-risk access and a break-glass mechanism for emergencies.</span></li> <li style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Own data lifecycle and strategy - build a set of data services that enables data aging, archiving, and retention over a multi-year cycle.</span></li> <li style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Contribute to creating a database observability framework; logging, metrics, and alerting that produces clear, actionable signals instead of noise, and that doesn't depend on any one person knowing which dashboard to check.</span></li> <li style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Lead high-availability operations for our biggest live moments: on-call design, war-room readiness, staffing plans, and vendor escalation coordination for season kickoffs, the Super Bowl, and other peak-traffic events.</span></li> <li style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Own the data side of our business continuity and disaster recovery planning and execution. </span></li> <li style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Partner closely with the Infrastructure team on shared infrastructure surfaces, caching, messaging/queues, and the boundary between application and data infrastructure, so the seam between the two teams is invisible to the rest of engineering.</span></li> <li style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Maintain database security and compliance: vulnerability remediation, edge security, access controls, and support for compliance and audit processes.</span></li> <li style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Manage vendor relationships and contracts across the database portfolio, including budget ownership and negotiation.</span></li> <li style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Build and grow the team; identify and develop technical leads, delegate real ownership, and build a bench so critical work never depends on a single person.</span></li> <li style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Represent DBRE in cross-functional planning (feature launches, load testing, migrations)</span></li> <li style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"&
