About This Team
Our Database Administration (DBA) team is part of Playlist's Data Platform Engineering organization, responsible for ensuring the reliability, security, and performance of the database infrastructure supporting Mindbody and Booker. You'll join a globally distributed team that partners closely with software engineers to support critical production systems, troubleshoot complex database issues, and improve the developer experience.
While much of our work today centers on Microsoft SQL Server, we're also focused on modernizing our infrastructure through automation, self-service tooling, and evolving database technologies. We're looking for a Data Engineer who enjoys solving technical challenges, takes ownership of problems, and is excited to help shape the future of our database platform.
The Role You'll Play
- Build, operate, and improve reliable, secure, and performant database infrastructure supporting Mindbody, Booker, and the broader Playlist platform.
- Support and troubleshoot production Microsoft SQL Server environments, including query performance, database availability, and operational incidents.
- Develop scripts, tools, and automation that reduce manual work and enable more efficient, self-service database operations for engineering teams.
- Partner with application engineers to investigate database issues, support safe changes, and improve the developer experience.
- Contribute to the modernization of our database infrastructure, including migration initiatives and improvements to deployment, testing, and infrastructure management.
- Identify opportunities to improve existing processes, propose practical solutions, and independently drive projects from investigation through delivery.
- Work across teams to document technical decisions, share knowledge, and continuously improve how we operate critical data systems.
