- Perform regular database upgrades and audit log analysis to comply with GDPR, Multi-Tier Cloud Security Certification (MLPS), and other regulations.
- Automation & Cost Management
- Automate database deployment and operations using Terraform, Ansible, or cloud-native tools (Alibaba Cloud ROS, AWS CloudFormation).
- Optimize cloud costs via auto-scaling, reserved instances, and storage tiering (e.g., AWS S3 Glacier).
- Cross-Team Collaboration
- Support development teams in database design reviews, SQL code standardization, and DevOps processes (e.g., database change management in CI/CD).
- Technical Skills
- Expertise in database services of at least one major public cloud (Alibaba Cloud or AWS), with familiarity in the other.
- In-depth understanding of core principles of mainstream databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis) and advanced SQL optimization/troubleshooting skills.
- Experience with database migration tools (AWS DMS, Alibaba Cloud DTS) and cross-cloud synchronization solutions.
- Experience Requirements

- Hands-on experience with large-scale (TB-level) databases, sharding, and read/write splitting.
