We are seeking a Senior Database Engineer to own and modernize the relational database environment supporting a large industrial software platform. The environment includes two production MariaDB databases: a primary application database supporting complex asset, inspection, visualization, and operational workflows, and an operational database supporting highly concurrent file and data-processing workflows. Both support large, data-intensive workloads. A primary objective is to lead the migration of both databases from MariaDB to PostgreSQL while improving performance, concurrency, reliability, and operational support.
