ABOUT THE TEAM 🤹
We’re looking for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer with a focus on PostgreSQL to bring expertise to the core foundation of our stack which has continued to carry us through a phase of rapid growth. We operate with terabytes of data stored across billions of rows, all running in the cloud through distributed architectures. You would be coming-in and owning a key lynchpin of our our product, including:
- Partnering with Software Engineering to architect & design our databases to be performant at-scale
- Ownership of database load-balancing for hundreds of containers, with varying levels of load from distributed systems
- Improving our fault-tolerance mechanisms to enable multi-region disaster recovery
- Designing & managing production monitoring & alerting systems
- Defining & owning the Database roadmap, ensuring we not only can continue to scale today, but also in five years.
All of this would be to ensure things are working in a highly-performant manner to ensure our millions of users are able to continue improving their financial lives with Rocket Money.
ABOUT YOU 🦄
- You have experience building and supporting production systems operating at a large scale with high uptime requirements. Bonus points for prior experience with capacity planning in distributed systems for high-growth companies.
- You are an expert with working with Postgres databases at-scale, including managing both partitioned and shared databases in the cloud (AWS preferred!) with multiple TBs of data.
- You balance innovation and pragmatism. You’re comfortable going off the beaten path when the use case demands, but place value on not reinventing a perfectly good wheel.
- You are always looking for ways to improve systems, constantly designing and re-engineering the roadmap to improve the performance and availability of our databases as we grow.
- You thrive on identifying the root-cause of issues rather than symptoms, especially in distributed architectures.
- You're familiar with the principles of "Infrastructure as Code", using tools like Packer and Terraform.
- You have a mind for not just scalability, but also security. Building tools to audit and protect our production environment is very important to us.
- You are experienced with CI/CD best practices and implementation (webapp or CircleCI knowledge is a plus!).
- You shy away from manual work/processes and default to writing code to automate where possible.
