Senior DevOps Engineer – PostgreSQL / Database Operations

Hi,

We're a 35-person DevOps team (we call ourselves a "DevOps house", not an agency). Below you'll be able to find what we're looking for, and who we are (so you can decide if we're what you're looking for too). 😉

Sounds interesting, but you have questions? Email: [email protected]

About the role:

• We work with clients from startups to companies like World, AirHelp, TACEO, and SmartRecruiters. Our projects are infrastructure that actually has to work – there's no room for "almost works".
• We don't do bodyleasing – we work as a team. We don't "send" people to clients, we build solutions together as a team.
• This isn't a classic DBA role. You'll design, deploy, and operate production PostgreSQL environments – both cloud-managed and self-hosted – as part of our DevOps/Platform Engineering work, not as a siloed database function.
• You'll own replication, backups, point-in-time recovery, and performance tuning, and help us build an internal PostgreSQL platform / Database-as-a-Service solution.
• You'll work directly with clients and our DevOps team. No middlemen, no "pass it through the manager" – we work like adults.
• We're 100% remote.
• 
  

Who we're looking for:

Required skills:

• Strong production experience running and operating PostgreSQL.
• Strong production experience running and operating PostgreSQL.
• Good working knowledge of SQL – you can read, analyse, and troubleshoot complex queries, not just write them.
• Practical experience with execution plans, indexing, locking, transactions, and isolation levels.
• Experience configuring and troubleshooting PostgreSQL replication (streaming and logical).
• Strong knowledge of backup, restore, and point-in-time recovery.
• Understanding of PostgreSQL internals – WAL, MVCC, vacuuming/autovacuum, checkpoints, connection management.
• Experience running highly available, business-critical database environments.
• Strong Linux systems engineering and troubleshooting skills.
• Experience with AWS, including RDS, Aurora PostgreSQL, EC2, EBS, IAM, CloudWatch, and S3.
• Strong Infrastructure as Code skills, preferably Terraform.
• Automation skills – Go, Python, Bash, or honestly any language you're fluent in.
• Familiarity with CI/CD, monitoring, alerting, and incident management.
• Polish C1 and English min. B2 (we work with international clients).
  
  
• Nice to have:
• 
  
• Experience running self-managed PostgreSQL clusters (AWS, private cloud, or on-prem).
• Experience with Kubernetes and PostgreSQL operators (CloudNativePG, Zalando Postgres Operator, Crunchy Postgres for Kubernetes).
• Experience with Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Datadog, or similar.
• Knowledge of database security, encryption, access control, and secrets management.
• Experience with major version upgrades, disaster recovery exercises, or multi-region database architectures.
• Familiarity with other relational or distributed databases.
• If you don't meet all requirements, we encourage you to apply anyway – it's always worth a shot!
• 
  

You meet all requirements and then some, so you're interested in a higher budget offer? Apply! We're open to negotiation.

• What we offer:
• 100% remote work.
• Negotiable salary if you're really good.
• Health insurance with PZU, fully covered by Let's Go DevOps.
• PZU Sport card.
• Development budget (courses, conferences, certifications – you decide).
• Equipment budget.

We're waiting for your application!
