AWS Cloud Database Engineering OEC is in the middle of a multi-year transformation — migrating hundreds of services to AWS. We’re looking for a Senior DBA to lead that shift as our principal technical voice on database engineering: setting platform direction, driving migrations to Amazon RDS for SQL Server and Aurora PostgreSQL, and building a secure, resilient AWS-native database operating model. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can lead from day one — not learn on the job.
What you’ll do
Own migrations to AWS managed services, with RDS for SQL Server and Aurora PostgreSQL as our target-state platforms
Plan and execute migrations using DMS and SCT, sequencing and validating each wave against our transformation roadmap
Architect multi-AZ, highly available database environments using RDS Proxy, automated failover, and AWS Backup
Define and implement IaC standards with Terraform, integrated into CI/CD pipelines
Lead cross-functional incident response and root cause analysis
Own performance, scalability, and observability using CloudWatch, RDS Performance Insights, DevOps Guru, and Datadog
Enforce security and governance via Secrets Manager, IAM database authentication, KMS, and VPC isolation
Mentor and grow our DBA team, building capability — not dependency
What you bring
10–12 years of database administration experience, including 3–5 years running AWS managed database services in production
Proven, hands-on expertise migrating and operating RDS for SQL Server and Aurora PostgreSQL at enterprise scale
Real experience with DMS/SCT migrations — homogeneous and heterogeneous
Fluency in AWS security, networking, and observability tooling
Strong, well-reasoned architectural opinions — and the judgment to know when to push back and when to adapt
Bonus points AWS Certified Database Specialty, Aurora Serverless v2 or event-driven data architecture experience, cost optimization chops, and a track record leading teams through multi-year cloud migrations.
