Summary from the posting
Chainguard is scaling rapidly, and the database systems that support our products need to scale with us.
We’re looking for our first Staff Platform Database Engineer to help define how databases are deployed, managed, scaled, and operated across Chainguard. This is not a traditional DBA role focused primarily on query tuning or operating a single database. Instead, you’ll work across engineering teams to establish a consistent, resilient, and scalable approach to database infrastructure.
This is a short summary. The full description, requirements and the application form are on Chainguard's own career page.
