Ready to build something BIG from the ground up?

A fast‑growing digital product organization is launching a brand‑new, cloud‑native platform—and we’re looking for a Senior Database Platform Engineer to design and own the entire database ecosystem powering next‑gen mobile and web experiences.

This is not a traditional DBA role. You’ll architect, engineer, and optimize a brand-new Postgres environment while shaping data foundations used across dozens of business units and millions of users.

What You’ll Do

  • Design & build a new Postgres database from scratch—schema design, data modeling, indexing, performance engineering.
  • Own platform reliability across SQL Server and cloud-native databases.
  • Implement replication, HA/DR, real-time streaming, and observability.
  • Drive data security, governance, lineage, and compliance standards.
  • Partner with Product, Engineering, and DevOps to define enterprise-level patterns, automation, and best practices.
  • Shape the long-term data platform strategy for a major digital transformation initiative.


What You Bring

  • Deep expertise in Postgres + SQL Server performance tuning and architecture.
  • Strong experience with cloud-native databases (AWS/GCP/Azure).
  • Proven background in data modeling, schema design, replication, and platform engineering.
  • Experience with iPaaS concepts, integration patterns, streaming pipelines, and modern data observability.
  • A builder’s mindset—pragmatic, collaborative, and energized by greenfield work.


Why This Role Rocks

  • Influence foundational architecture decisions from day one.
  • Work in a modern, product-led, startup-style environment with enterprise backing.
  • Build a platform supporting real estate and consumer digital experiences at national scale.
  • Competitive compensation, autonomy, and the chance to create lasting technical impact.

If you love architecting high-performance data systems—and want your work to matter at scale—this is your chance to build the backbone of a brand-new digital ecosystem.

Apply and help shape the future of digital homeownership.
