Shape the Future of Data—From Anywhere

Can you identify hidden patterns in vast amounts of data and transform sluggish systems into streamlined, high-performing engines? We’re building a world-class analytics team that’s obsessed with optimizing data environments and empowering people to work smarter, not harder. This is your chance to dive deep into complex database landscapes, unlock untapped performance, and leave a lasting mark on digital transformation projects—all while working entirely remotely.

Why Your Work Matters

Every second shaved off a database query is time saved for thousands of users and millions in potential value. Here, your expertise ensures our systems not only keep up with the pace of innovation but also set the standard for reliability and efficiency. Organizations around the globe trust our products, and the ripple effect of your work is real: when our databases run faster, businesses move faster, too.

What You'll Do—Real Impact, Every Day

• You’ll analyze database performance using tools like SQL Profiler, New Relic, and SolarWinds, uncovering bottlenecks others might miss. • By diagnosing slowdowns, you’ll directly impact the experience of end users—your optimizations make a difference for everyone from engineers to customers. • Your recommendations will guide engineers to build robust, scalable solutions. • You’ll create reports and visual dashboards to turn technical insights into actionable improvements that business stakeholders value. • Proactively monitor database health and performance, so we’re solving problems before users even notice. • Collaborate with developers, product managers, and QA specialists to develop solutions that are both reliable and efficient. • Bring clarity to chaos by documenting root causes, best practices, and new procedures, making sure knowledge is shared and sustained. • Collaborate with vendors and cloud partners to push performance to the next level, whether we’re on-premises, in the cloud, or running hybrid stacks.

Your Toolkit—Where Tech Meets Ingenuity

Our stack includes a mix of SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and cutting-edge NoSQL platforms. You’ll use monitoring tools like AppDynamics, Grafana, and custom scripts to stay ahead of potential issues. Familiarity with query optimization, index tuning, and cloud-based environments (think AWS RDS, Azure SQL, and Google Cloud SQL) gives you an edge. Automating routine checks and leveraging data visualization software will help you communicate results that drive change.

Who Thrives Here

The challenge of solving tough problems energizes you, and you find satisfaction in seeing real-world results. You explain complex technical details, whether you’re chatting over Slack or presenting to the leadership team on Zoom. You welcome feedback, seek diverse perspectives, and know that the best ideas can come from anywhere. If you believe that technology can always be faster, wiser, and more reliable, you’ll feel right at home.

What Success Looks Like

• Databases run faster and more efficiently because of your contributions.
• System downtime decreases while user satisfaction and productivity soar.
• Engineering and product teams are more effective thanks to your clear communication and actionable insights.
• The documentation is up-to-date, concise, and is used by others.
• You help guide the roadmap for future upgrades and migrations, ensuring we’re ahead of the curve.

Growth and Learning—Every Day

This isn’t a role where you’ll ever feel stuck. You’ll have access to the latest learning resources, mentorship from senior analysts, and the opportunity to attend remote tech conferences. You’ll be encouraged to try new tools, pilot innovative performance-tuning strategies, and share your discoveries with the team. Curiosity is celebrated here, and growth is part of the journey.

What You Bring
