TL;DR · Associate Database Platform Developer

The Associate Database Platform Developer joins the Database Platform Development function to design, build, and maintain database-centric tooling and services. This role focuses on software development and platform enablement rather than traditional database administration. You will develop internal tools, scripts, and utilities to automate provisioning, access management, and schema changes while migrating legacy workflows into scalable, API-driven solutions. Key responsibilities include assisting application teams with schema design, SQL reviews, and implementing performance guardrails. You will utilize programming languages such as Python, Perl, or Java, alongside SQL and relational database concepts like indexes and transactions. The role requires proficiency in version control, testing, and CI/CD pipelines to improve observability and reliability across enterprise database platforms, including SQL Server and Snowflake, while reducing manual operational toil through code.

What you'll do

  • Develop and maintain internal database tooling, services, and automation for provisioning and access management.
  • Write scripts and utilities using Python, Perl, or Java to support database platform initiatives.
  • Migrate legacy scripts and workflows into scalable, service-based, or API-driven solutions.
  • Provide schema design support and SQL reviews to assist application teams with development needs.
  • Implement guardrails and validations to ensure performance, reliability, and security across database platforms.
  • Automate operational workflows to reduce manual work and improve consistency across environments.
  • Participate in incident analysis and contribute code fixes or tooling enhancements to prevent recurrence.
  • Improve platform observability through logging, monitoring integration, and tooling enhancements.

What we're looking for

  • Experience with one or more programming languages such as Python, Perl, or Java.
  • Basic understanding of relational database concepts including tables, indexes, transactions, and SQL.
  • Familiarity with software development fundamentals including version control, code reviews, and testing.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and willingness to learn enterprise database platforms and tooling.
  • Ability to work effectively in a team-based, large-scale technology environment.
  • Exposure to database platforms such as SQL Server, Snowflake, or similar enterprise databases (preferred).
  • Experience supporting or maintaining internal tools, scripts, or shared libraries (preferred).
  • Familiarity with APIs, automation frameworks, or CI/CD pipelines (preferred).
