• Own the reliability, performance, and scalability of WorkOS's PostgreSQL infrastructure. • Analyze and implement best practices for our database clusters, including replication, connection pooling, high availability, and disaster recovery. • Build and maintain observability for database metrics (query performance, replication lag, connection saturation, storage growth) and ensure we meet our database SLOs. • Provide database expertise to product engineering teams through migration reviews, query optimization guidance, and schema design consultation. • Develop automation and self-service tooling that enables engineers to safely interact with databases without bottlenecking on the DBRE team. • Participate in on-call rotations and lead incident response for database-related production issues, performing root cause analysis and implementing permanent fixes. • Plan and manage database capacity, forecasting growth and ensuring our infrastructure can handle increased workloads. • Collaborate with SREs to roll out infrastructure changes to production environments, with a focus on minimizing risk to the data layer. • Document operational procedures, runbooks, and architectural decisions so learnings become repeatable actions and eventually automation. • Drive improvements to backup and recovery strategies, regularly testing and validating disaster recovery procedures.
