Database Reliability Engineer

Hi, I am database reliability engineer who works on all aspects of keeping the databases (100s of them) up and running. I have used configuration management tools like puppet to deploy complex postgresql architectures and have experience with databases as big as 60TB and shards, backup of those shards, upgrades etc.I had a good reputation on not leaving any incident open which arise due to sudden bump in traffic, bugs, system issues etc and ensured minimum or no involvement of app developers in issue resolutions. I help answer queries on postgresql slack and citus slack (basic only). I have experience working in all the timezones in the world across my 14+ years, but for this role I would want to sleep at night unless its an oncall/incident.

I have exposure to on prem systems/ bare metals, self managed virtualisation and microservices but using mesos/docker and AWS using theforeman. I have tutorial awareness of AWS and Kubernetes and Ansible, but I read a lot of code and have history of understanding most of the relevant infra stack in a couple of months without any hand holding.

If you have read till here, Thank You for listening. I am passionate about postgresql and troubleshooting incidents to root causes.
