We're looking for a Database Engineer who brings a blend of database and systems engineering skills. This is a position of opportunity for an eager, early-stage career CS grad who understands how databases interact with applications, infrastructure, and distributed systems to deliver exceptional performance, reliability, and scalability.

Required Qualifications

• Completion of a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or technology field
• 1-3 years of experience in database engineering, systems engineering including designing, maintaining, or owning database infrastructure; DBA experience a plus (professionally or through academics).
• Working proficiency in writing and optimizing complex SQL queries (e.g., JOINs, WHERE clauses, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements), with deep knowledge of relational database concepts, indexing strategies, partitioning, replication, and high-availability architectures.
• Solid Python development skills — able to write production-quality scripts and tooling, not just one-off automation.
• Good understanding of Kubernetes and containerized workloads.
• Linux fundamentals — shell scripting, process management, system monitoring, and core command-line fluency.
• Completion of internships, co-op programs or hands on work experience is welcomed!
