About the role
Company Overview
Our client is delivering high-performance, real-time solutions to their global customer base. Their extensive use of CockroachDB powers a scalable, distributed system, ensuring seamless operations in a high-traffic environment. We’re seeking talented CockroachDB Administrators to join our fully remote team, providing 24/7 support and optimization for our critical database infrastructure.
Job Overview
As a CockroachDB Administrator, you will play a pivotal role in managing, monitoring, and optimizing our CockroachDB clusters to ensure reliability, performance, and scalability. This fully remote role requires flexibility to work various shifts, supporting our 24/7 operations. You’ll collaborate with development and DevOps teams, leveraging tools like Terraform and Kafka, and tackle challenges ranging from query optimization to multi-region monitoring. We’re hiring for both mid-level (3+ years experience) and senior-level (5+ years experience) candidates within a single, dynamic job specification.
Key Responsibilities
- Cluster Management & Optimization: Administer and scale CockroachDB clusters, ensuring high availability and performance in a high-traffic betting environment. Design efficient schemas, optimize indexes, and resolve hotspot issues.
- 24/7 Support: Provide round-the-clock monitoring and incident resolution, troubleshooting issues like slow queries, schema change impacts, or cluster failures.
- Change Data Capture (CDC): Configure and maintain CDC workflows (e.g., writing data to Kafka), mitigating challenges like full table re-emission after schema changes.
- Performance Tuning: Regularly identify and optimize bad or slow queries, collaborating with developers to align database performance with application needs.
- Monitoring & Maintenance: Enhance CockroachDB dashboards with additional tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana) for multi-region setups, manage jobs, and ensure security through roles and permissions.
- DevOps Integration: Use Terraform for infrastructure-as-code deployments and support containerized environments (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
- Leadership (Senior Level): Lead database architecture initiatives, mentor junior team members, and drive best practices adoption.
Mid-Level
Required Skills & Qualifications
- 3+ years of experience with SQL databases, including at least 3 years with CockroachDB.
- Solid understanding of database replication, consistency, and record-writing flows (e.g., leaseholder interactions).
- Familiarity with DevOps tools (Terraform, monitoring systems) and query optimization.
Senior-Level
- 5+ years of experience with SQL databases, including at least 5 years with CockroachDB.
- Deep knowledge of CockroachDB internals (e.g., leaseholders, ranges, CDC) and multi-region deployments.
- Proven ability to lead technical initiatives and mentor others.
General Requirements
- Experience with CDC (e.g., Kafka integration) and troubleshooting schema change impacts.
- Comfortable with a fully remote role and flexible scheduling for 24/7 shift coverage.
- Strong problem-solving skills, with experience resolving critical database issues (e.g., cluster outages, performance bottlenecks).
- Excellent communication skills for cross-functional collaboration.
Nice-to-Have Skills
- Experience in with high-concurrency financial systems.
- Knowledge of other databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB) for comparison and migration purposes.
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
Work Environment
- Location: Fully remote.
- Schedule: Flexible shifts to support 24/7 operations; candidates must be adaptable to varying hours, including nights and weekends, as part of a rotating schedule.
- Team: Collaborate with developers, DevOps engineers, and other administrators in a fast-paced, supportive environment.
Why Join Us?
- Work on cutting-edge betting software with a global impact.
- Fully remote flexibility with a team that values innovation and technical excellence.
- Opportunity to grow as an all-rounder or specialize in distributed database systems.
