About
The Role Yuno is looking for a Senior Database Administrator to own the data layer that powers our payment processing systems and the platform that provisions, deploys, and manages AI agents at scale on AWS. You'll join the same infrastructure team responsible for the reliability, performance, and security of Yuno's production systems, working side by side with engineering and DevOps. This is not a “keep the lights on” role. You'll be the senior technical voice on database architecture — driving decisions on performance, scalability, high availability, and how our data layer evolves as the platform grows. Your Contribution Will Be Database administration and optimization — own maintenance, patching, and upgrades across our database fleet; lead performance tuning, indexing strategy, and query optimization for mission-critical, high-throughput systems. Reliability, backup, and recovery — design and own backup/recovery strategy, replication, and disaster recovery planning to guarantee stability and data integrity for payment processing workloads. Infrastructure as Code — automate database provisioning and maintenance with Terraform, working within the same IaC practices as the rest of the infrastructure team. Data migration and conversion — plan and execute complex data migration and conversion routines for production systems, verifying successful completion with minimal risk and downtime. Monitoring and performance — build the dashboards, alerts, and monitors that surface database health and performance issues before they become incidents. Technical leadership — mentor engineers on database best practices, provide expertise on deployment and architecture planning, and proactively communicate risks, issues, and next steps to
