Job Description

Database Reliability Engineer ensuring data reliability in Conexa's digital health ecosystem in Brazil. Focused on monitoring and improving database performance and security compliance.

Responsibilities:

  • Continuously monitor the data layer's performance — slow queries, locks, index usage, saturation and capacity — defining thresholds, alerts and action plans.
  • Conduct capacity planning analyses and propose evolution of the data architecture according to product growth.
  • Technically review queries and data models proposed by developers, acting as a consultative reference and guardian of standards.
  • Define and evolve company database standards: naming, versioning, integrity, modeling and scalability.
  • Ensure best practices are consistently adopted by engineering teams.
  • Manage the database change cycle across dev/staging/prod environments, implementing CI/CD flows appropriate for schema and data changes.
  • Assess migration risks, define maintenance windows and rollback strategies.
  • Define and operate backup, restore, replication and disaster recovery strategies, including periodic recovery testing.
  • Sustain availability SLOs and the data layer's RPO/RTO objectives.
  • Establish and review permission policies, access segregation and auditing.
  • Ensure adherence to applicable security and compliance requirements (LGPD — Brazilian General Data Protection Law — and the frameworks adopted by the company).
  • Develop and evolve internal tooling that improves developer experience (DX), observability, access management and the scalability of data operations.
  • Act as a technical bridge between product engineering, infrastructure and security.

Requirements:

  • Strong experience as a DBA, DBRE, data SRE or Data Engineer with a focus on reliability, working in critical production environments.
  • Advanced SQL and proficiency in query tuning, reading and interpreting execution plans, lock analysis and index management.
  • Expertise in relational modeling and integrity patterns, versioning and schema migrations.
  • Experience with backup, restore, replication and disaster recovery strategies, including recovery testing.
  • Experience with managed cloud databases (AWS RDS/Aurora, Google Cloud SQL or equivalents).
  • CI/CD practices applied to database changes (versioned migrations, automated review, controlled deploys in dev/staging/prod).
  • Database observability using tools such as Datadog, New Relic, Grafana or equivalents.
  • Knowledge of data security and governance: permission management, least-privilege principles and audit controls.
  • Nice-to-haves: Experience in healthtech or other regulated industries, with sensitivity to LGPD and compliance (ISO 27001, SOC 2).
  • Experience with NoSQL databases and hybrid architectures (relational + NoSQL + cache).
  • Experience building internal tooling (platforms, CLIs, automations) that scale database practices for product teams.
  • Experience working in high-growth environments with autonomous squads.
  • Familiarity with IaC (Terraform) applied to the data layer.
