- Architecting and maintaining automated schema change infrastructure for MySQL and TiDB, while implementing versioning, rollback, validation, and auditing for safe, predictable, and fast migrations.
- Ensuring the platform operates across thousands of global databases with zero downtime, enhancing resilience, observability, and recovery, and building a test harness for migration and deployment validation.
- Designing intuitive tools and APIs for seamless schema and data change management, and embedding migration workflows into CI/CD pipelines to increase velocity and reduce friction.
- Designing infrastructure for safe, large-scale schema and data operations like backfills and purging.
This role will be crucial in ensuring the scalability and reliability of schema and data operations across Databricks' global footprint, driving predictable deployments by architecting robust test harnesses and automation, elevating the developer experience by building accessible, resilient tools that make complex migrations feel simple, and guaranteeing the integrity of both schema and data through safe, efficient backfill strategies.
To succeed in this role, you will need:
- 12+ years of professional experience in backend systems or platform engineering.
- Experience in building platforms, infrastructure, or database engineering, especially with MySQL, TiDB.
