Description

1. PostgreSQL Database Design & Development 

  • Design, develop, and maintain scalable PostgreSQL database schemas, including tables, indexes, views, and materialized views. 
  • Write and optimize complex SQL queries, stored procedures, and functions using PL/pgSQL. 
  • Implement data modeling best practices to support transactional and analytical workloads. 

2. Performance Tuning & Optimization 

  • Monitor and analyze PostgreSQL performance using tools like pg_stat_activity, EXPLAIN ANALYZE. 
  • Resolve performance bottlenecks, including slow queries, index inefficiencies, and vacuuming issues. 
  • Analyze and mitigate lock waits and deadlocks using PostgreSQL logs and diagnostic tools. 

3. Monitoring & High Availability 

  • Monitor the health of PostgreSQL databases and associated application/ETL servers in both cloud environments. 
  • Implement and maintain high availability solutions using streaming replication, logical replication, or tools like Patroni. 
  • Set up and tune alerting thresholds for key health indicators (e.g., connection limits, replication lag, disk usage). 

4. Data Integration & ETL 

  • Design and manage ETL pipelines using Unix Shell Scripts, or native PostgreSQL features (e.g., COPY ). 
  • Ensure data consistency and integrity across systems during ingestion and transformation processes. 

5. Environment Management & Deployment 

  • Perform periodic refreshes of DEV/QA/UAT/pre-production environments using sanitized production backups. 
  • Participate in planning and executing production deployments in replicated PostgreSQL environments. 
  • Support infrastructure capacity planning and scaling strategies for different environments. 

6. Collaboration & Launch Support 

  • Collaborate with service providers and internal teams to deliver end-to-end solutions for enterprise initiatives. 
  • Support the launch of PostgreSQL-backed applications in new regions/platforms with pre- and post-launch data validation and analysis. 

Expected Skills 

  • Should have 3-5 years of experience in software development. 
  • Hands-on experience in the following technologies: 
  • Database: PostgreSQL, Oracle, Snowflake, MySQL, DB2 
  • Languages: PL/pgSQL, SQL, Shell Scripting, Python 
  • DB Development: Workbench/Toad
