Senior Database Reliability Engineer

• Compensation: CAD 85,680 - CAD 130,000 - yearly

Job Description

We are looking for a Database Reliability Engineer to join our team. This is not a traditional DBA role — you are a DevOps engineer who happens to have deep SQL and database knowledge. You think in code, manage infrastructure via Terraform, and treat database provisioning, patching, and performance as an engineering problem — not a manual task.

You will own the database infrastructure layer across our AWS environments: provisioning, scaling, observability, and reliability — all through Infrastructure-as-Code. Our current estate includes SQL Server running on Windows EC2 instances. You will partner with application teams to ensure databases are correctly provisioned, optimised, and monitored without becoming a gatekeeper.

You Will:

• Provision and manage AWS RDS instances entirely through Terraform — parameter groups, subnet groups, IAM authentication...
