Pleno Database Reliability Engineer - Indaiatuba/SP

We are redefining the traditional DBRE role into a modern Data Platform Engineering function, focused on automation, reliability, cloud-native operations, and scalable patterns for database infrastructure across the company. Our team partners with multiple product and platform squads to provide a robust database platform on AWS, primarily using RDS with PostgreSQL, while also supporting Oracle and SQL Server workloads.

You will play a key role in executing our modernization journey, participating in initiatives such as migrating legacy workloads to AWS, implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC), enhancing observability, and building automation. This is a global team.

Main Responsibilities

• Implement and maintain highly reliable, secure, and automated database environments on AWS;


• Provision, monitor, and operate AWS RDS instances (primarily PostgreSQL; Oracle/SQL Server as secondary);


• Utilize and contribute to reusable cloud/database standards, Terraform modules, and Flyway pipelines;


• Support and execute data migrations between different databases (including using AWS DMS);


• Apply and maintain security, governance, and compliance policies in database environments;


• Collaborate with development teams on SQL tuning, schema modeling, and troubleshooting;


• Develop and maintain automations (Terraform pipelines, Bash/Python scripts);


• Produce and update technical documentation, runbooks, and share knowledge with the team.

Skills You Need

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Systems Analysis, or related fields (or equivalent practical experience);


• Advanced English: Ability to participate in meetings, write clear documentation, and collaborate effectively with global teams;


• Solid experience with AWS, specifically RDS (PostgreSQL is required);


• Hands-on database administration experience (backup/restore, replication, troubleshooting, and tuning);


• Practical experience with Terraform (IaC) for database provisioning;


• Experience with schema versioning/migration tools (such as Flyway or similar);


• Experience with scripting and automation (Bash, Python);


• Strong SQL skills and query optimization;


• Availability to work in a hybrid model in Indaiatuba/SP.

What Makes You Stand Out

• Prior experience with migrations using AWS DMS;


• Knowledge of SRE practices (SLIs, SLOs, and observability tools like Datadog, Prometheus, etc.);


• Basic understanding of DB2 (z/OS) or mainframe environments;


• AWS certifications (Database Specialty or Solutions Architect).
