About the team

A hybrid work model requires 1 day a week in the office

The Technical Platform Teams provide the foundations for the structure and operations of the entire Allegro platform. This is where we build tools, development and infrastructure stacks and automation systems used by more than a hundred Allegro product teams and by the customer support department. We develop the full stack, starting from our own server room and private cloud, through containerization, mobile apps and application software to tools which offer AI support to our customers. At the same time, we are responsible for the performance, availability and security of the entire platform. 

Your main responsibilities:

- You will eliminate traditional infrastructure in favor of database services managed in the public cloud and/or those based on Kubernetes,

- This is a process that won't happen right away, so you will also have to take care of the existing database infrastructure so that it runs smoothly and is always available,

- At the same time, you will create and maintain tools to improve, optimize and automate tasks in our infrastructure.

This is the right job for you if you:

- Have knowledge of MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle in the field of database administration,

- Are familiar with as many as possible tools supporting the above technologies (PMM, percona-toolkit, pg_repack, Grid Control, RMAN, simpana, etc.),

- Have knowledge of the GNU stack - bash, grep, awk, sed, as well as, of the Python language (as we create many services from simple scripts that automate backup / restore actions to complex data integrations based on the more advanced frameworks like flask or django)

The following are also a plus

- Familiarity with Docker and Kubernetes,

- Some knowledge of the database services in GCP (preferred) or Azure
