Senior Database Reliability Engineer - Global Infrastructure

i3D.net, Rotterdam HQ

What you will do

Design and build database platforms: You design, build, and evolve highly available RDBMS platforms, ensuring they are resilient, scalable, and aligned with platform standards across multiple environments.

What you need

Database Engineering experience: You have 5+ years of hands-on experience managing production database platforms, preferably MariaDB, MySQL and PostgreSQL, with strong requirements around uptime, performance, and data integrity.
Linux & Kubernetes: You are comfortable operating Linux systems, especially in on-premise or hybrid environments, and regularly troubleshoot issues spanning storage, networking, and system resources.
Automation and Infrastructure-as-Code: You use tools like Ansible and Terraform to automate database and infrastructure workflows and avoid manual configuration wherever possible.
CI/CD and platform integration: You have experience integrating databases into CI/CD pipelines and working alongside application and platform teams to support reliable releases. Experience with GitHub Actions is a plus.
Monitoring and observability: You have worked with Prometheus and Grafana in production environments and understand how to monitor database health, performance, and capacity effectively.
Collaboration and mindset: You enjoy working in platform or SRE style teams, contributing to documentation and tooling, and supporting others through reviews, incidents, and shared learning.
Remote vs onsite: This is a hybrid role, so you'll spend some time working onsite at our Rotterdam office. If you're already in the Netherlands, great. If not, we're happy to support your move with our relocation services (a valid EU work permit is required).
