Database Reliability Engineer (Hyderabad)

As a Database Reliability Engineer within our Operations Engineering Center, you'll ensure the reliability, performance, and scalability of Billtrust's mission-critical database infrastructure. You'll work with MySQL SQL Server, MongoDB, and modern cloud-native databases (Aurora, Cloud SQL), supporting solutions that support billions of transactions annually. You'll drive automation through infrastructure-as-code, develop AI-powered database health monitoring systems, and implement intelligent backup and disaster recovery strategies. Your expertise will enable Billtrust GCC to deliver world-class database reliability while pioneering autonomous database management through agentic technologies. Experience Level: 5-9 yrs work Location: Hyderabad Key Responsibilities 1. Design, implement, and maintain high-availability and disaster recovery architectures for MySQL, SQL Server, and MongoDB databases 2. Develop and execute database performance tuning strategies, query optimization, and workload analysis 3. Implement infrastructure-as-code for database provisioning using Terraform and Ansible 4. Engineer autonomous database health monitoring agents and agentic backup validation systems 5. Establish backup, restore, and recovery automation using cloud-native tools 6. Create and maintain operational runbooks for database failover, capacity planning, and incident response 7. Implement database-as-code practices and schema migration automation 8. Monitor and optimize database metrics using AI Ops and Datadog dashboards 9. Collaborate with application teams on database design, indexing strategies, and performance requirements 10. Work with the US database engineering team to support & implement roadmap Required Qualification Experience & Technical Background
