This role focuses on standardization, automation, operational excellence, reliability, toil reduction, lifecycle management, observability, and continuous improvement across the existing database estate. The Principal Engineer will lead initiatives that reduce operational complexity, improve service reliability, accelerate cloud readiness, and increase engineering productivity through automation and process optimization.

+ Drive improvements in platform reliability, availability, resiliency, and operational health.

+ Lead initiatives focused on performance optimization, capacity management, and operational risk reduction.

Lifecycle Management

+ Develop scalable approaches for patching, upgrades, platform currency, and lifecycle management.

+ Improve compliance with security, supportability, and operational standards.

Technical Leadership

+ Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and guidance across engineering and operational teams.

+ Partner with Operations, Security, Cloud, and Architecture teams to operationalize transformation initiatives.

+ Promote a culture of continuous improvement, engineering excellence, and operational discipline.

What We Look For in a Candidate

Required Qualifications:

+ Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent experience.

+ 12+ years of experience in database engineering, platform engineering, infrastructure engineering, site reliability engineering (SRE), cloud engineering, or related technical disciplines.

+ Proven experience leading large-scale engineering, automation, operational excellence, or transformation initiatives in complex enterprise environments.

+ Experience driving standardization, process optimization, reliability improvements, and operational efficiency across large-scale technology platforms.

+ Strong experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), automation, CI/CD, and modern engineering practices.

+ Demonstrated success leading cross-functional technical initiatives and influencing engineering teams.

+ Strong leadership, communication, problem-solving, and stakeholder management skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

+ Experience transforming traditional DBA or operations organizations into Platform Engineering, DevOps, or SRE operating models.

+ Experience with enterprise database platforms including Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Cassandra, or similar technologies.

+ Experience establishing automation standards, governance frameworks, reusable patterns, and self-service capabilities.

+ Hands-on experience with Terraform, Ansible, AWX, GitOps, CI/CD pipelines, scripting, and enterprise automation platforms.

+ Experience analyzing ServiceNow incident, request, and change data to identify service improvement and automation opportunities.

+ Experience implementing observability, proactive monitoring, reliability engineering, performance optimization, and operational health management practices.

+ Experience driving database lifecycle management programs including patching, upgrades, platform currency, vulnerability remediation, and technical debt reduction.

+ Experience leading brownfield standardization and optimization initiatives to simplify legacy environments and accelerate cloud migration readiness.

+ Experience supporting cloud migration, datacenter exit, modernization, or large-scale infrastructure transformation initiatives.

+ Familiarity with AWS, Azure, GCP, hybrid cloud, and multi-cloud environments.
