  • Experience with NoSQL technologies (MongoDB, Redis, DynamoDB) and backup/recovery tools (mysqldump, xtrabackup, RMAN, pg_dump).
  • Strong knowledge of security practices, encryption (TDE, SSL), auditing, and IAM strategies.
  • Hands-on experience with high availability, replication, and failover mechanisms (e.g., Orchestrator, Patroni, AlwaysOn).
  • Familiarity with automation and CI/CD tools (Liquibase, Flyway, Ansible, GitOps workflows).
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work across technical teams.
  • Preferred: AWS or GCP certifications, industry experience in life sciences or genomics.

  • Competitive salary range of $111,000–$140,000 per year, with eligibility for a Short-Term Incentive Plan (target 7.5%).

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.
