Description

🚀 Remote DBA Support Engineer

🌟 Be the Heartbeat Behind Digital Innovation

Imagine joining a crew where databases quietly empower ambitious launches, help companies grow across borders, and spark the next wave of breakthroughs. This isn’t a place where you monitor servers—it’s a space where you shape the entire landscape. If you find joy in solving the puzzles others shy away from, love automating away tedious work, and want a remote role that’s never monotonous, this might be your next big leap.

🏗️ Our Journey: Creativity Fuels Our Progress

We began with a tight-knit group that wanted to flip the script on traditional database support. Now, we’re a fast-growing, global band of technologists trusted by everything from trailblazing startups to established giants. Our story is written in migrations that move data safely to new homes, in making cloud platforms more efficient, and in strengthening the digital defenses our clients rely on. With every project, we look for a new angle—your ideas matter just as much as your experience.

💡 What Makes This Role Exciting

Being a DBA here means you’ll do more than maintain the status quo. You’ll design resilient, high-performance environments, diagnose unusual performance issues, and engineer automated systems that enable our team and clients to move faster. Dive into major cloud transformations, optimize for reliability, and discover creative solutions that leave a lasting mark. You’ll have the freedom to experiment with emerging tools and help set new standards for how remote data support is delivered.

🛠️ What You’ll Tackle

  • Get hands-on with complex challenges in SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL—always focused on stability and smooth performance.
  • Plan and deliver robust backup, recovery, and disaster-preparedness strategies that work when you need them most.
  • Team up with engineers and DevOps to create secure, scalable cloud database setups—using AWS RDS, Azure SQL, and Google Cloud SQL.
  • Track down slowdowns and mysterious errors, using a mix of intuition, creativity, and analytics to fix them for good.
  • Automate the “boring bits” with Python, PowerShell, or Bash—because your time is too valuable for repetitive work.
  • Guide product teams through changes, upgrades, and migrations, keeping everything on track without causing headaches.
  • Stay ahead of security risks—watching for new threats and applying safeguards before trouble finds you.

🤝 How We Work (and Why It’s Different)

  • Join a remote team that values your independence, your resourcefulness, and your sense of humor.
  • Short, focused stand-ups and regular knowledge-sharing calls keep everyone in sync, regardless of their location or login method.
  • Speak up: every fresh approach or off-the-wall idea is welcomed, not sidelined.
  • The pace is quick, but support is strong—you’ll get honest feedback, a chance to take creative risks, and no micromanagement.

🧰 Tools You’ll Use

  • You’ll work with PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle regularly.
  • Expect to spend time on AWS RDS, Azure SQL Database, and Google Cloud SQL.
  • Automate and monitor with Python, PowerShell, Bash, Ansible, Datadog, and Prometheus.
  • Bonus points if you are familiar with compliance standards (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2) or possess a security mindset.

🎯 Who Belongs Here

  • You treat databases as dynamic engines, not just systems to babysit.
  • You’re a natural at troubleshooting and explaining complex topics in ways that make sense to non-techies.
  • You’ve supported high-stakes environments and know that true reliability is always proactive.
  • Remote work doesn’t faze you; you can take the lead and help teammates, even from afar.
  • You never stop learning, testing, and stretching your technical limits.
  • Shifting priorities? No problem. You move between projects and tasks with agility.

🎓 Your Background

  • Maybe you earned a degree in computer science, IT, or a related field—or you’ve picked up equivalent know-how through years of hands-on work.
  • You’ve managed relational databases for 3+ years, ideally supporting remote operations or cloud systems.
  • You’re confident with database recovery, tuning, and squeezing the best performance from any system.
  • Scripting (Python, Bash, PowerShell) is second nature, and you find clever ways to automate wherever you can.
  • You understand the basics of security and know how to react if something goes wrong.
  • People appreciate how you communicate, even when the subject gets technical.

🌈 The Perks

  • Annual salary: $115,864, clear and straightforward.
  • 100% remote—choose your location and your vibe.
  • Flexible schedule—organize your day for maximum focus and flow.
  • Wellness perks and learning stipends to boost your personal and professional growth.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What’s different about a day in this remote DBA support role?

This isn’t a routine admin gig. One moment you’re figuring out why a report is dragging; the next, you’re building a quick script to wipe out an annoying chore. You’re in the mix—solving real problems for teams who rely on you, not just staring at dashboards and hoping for the best.

What’s the trouble you get called for most often? How do you actually fix it?

The classic is when something slows to a crawl. First step? Check what changed. Then dig through logs, ask a few sharp questions, and walk the system until the issue shows itself. It’s half detective work, half gut instinct, with a bit of relief once everything zips along again.

How does this crew deal with sudden changes or curveballs?

Nobody panics. A fast chat, a couple of calls, and the odd meme or two keep the mood light. People jump in to help, and there’s always someone with a fresh idea or a different angle. Nobody’s left to figure out chaos alone.

What kinds of things do you actually learn in this job?

There’s no way to coast—every week hands you something new. Maybe you’re cracking open a tricky database upgrade, perhaps you’re learning a faster way to restore a backup, or maybe you’re explaining what happened to someone not-so-technical. You become sharper, and you also improve at helping others.

What does remote teamwork really feel like here?

It’s not about being on your own. There’s always someone around for a gut check, or to trade ideas (or jokes). The crew trusts you to get your work done your way, but nobody vanishes. It’s a mix of freedom and real support, and it makes showing up every day feel worthwhile.
