The Opportunity 

ConstructConnect is on a mission to modernize our data infrastructure through a unified, cloud-native architecture built on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). We’re seeking a Cloud Database Administrator (DBA) who will be instrumental in designing, managing, and scaling the distributed data systems that power our analytics, internal tooling, and customer-facing applications. You will play a key role in supporting the platform-as-a-product vision by helping operationalize shared database services, support self-service data product delivery, and ensure our multi-tenant environment is secure, performant, and cost-efficient. 

What You’ll Be Doing  

• Own the lifecycle of cloud-native databases such as Cloud SQL, AlloyDB, BigQuery, and Firestore across development, staging, and production environments. 
• Contribute to the buildout of the Enterprise Data Platform by supporting domain-oriented teams in provisioning and managing decentralized data stores through infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, GitLab CI/CD). 
• Collaborate with software and data engineering teams to implement schema migration patterns (e.g., Liquibase), set up database observability, and advise on performant query design. 
• Monitor, tune, and remediate latency, availability, and capacity issues across OLTP and analytical workloads. 
• Establish high-availability, backup, and disaster recovery strategies for hybrid cloud workloads, including failover automation and managed backups. 
• Ensure adherence to access governance, data residency, and compliance requirements by managing IAM roles, service accounts, and audit logging. 
• Contribute to a centralized knowledge base and create documentation that enables faster onboarding, incident response, and self-service. 
• Implement and maintain automated database provisioning modules and reusable blueprints across multiple workload slices (e.g., SaaS production, data platform, observability, experimentation). 
• Learn and apply AI technologies: Gain familiarity with AI tools and frameworks to assist in GTM Systems tasks.

• 7+ years of experience in database administration, including 2+ years managing cloud-native databases on GCP (Cloud SQL, AlloyDB, BigQuery, etc.). 
• Solid understanding of data architecture principles, including OLTP vs. OLAP workloads, data mesh concepts, and domain-oriented data ownership. 
• Hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and GitOps workflows (GitLab/GitHub Actions and automation for database provisioning and deployment. 
• Strong understanding of database performance tuning, indexing, and query optimization. 
• Strong knowledge of SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and either MySQL or Oracle in high-throughput environments. 
• Familiarity with CI/CD practices and tools for managing schema evolution, including Liquibase, Flyway, or Alembic. 
• Deep understanding of cloud-native HA/DR patterns, automated failover, and multi-region replication. 
• Awareness of cloud security best practices and compliance considerations. 
• Working knowledge of role-based access control (RBAC), service accounts, and securing data pipelines. 
• Demonstrated ability to work in cross-functional platform teams, mentor engineers, and advocate for database SRE best practices.
