About Sequester

Sequester is a privacy-first encrypted vault for personal photos and videos. We build software where security, reliability, and user trust are product features???not afterthoughts.

About this role

You will keep Sequester's databases fast and available???managing replication, failover, query performance, and schema migrations without risking user data integrity.

What you will do

  • Operate primary/replica topologies with automated failover and lag monitoring
  • Partner with engineers on safe migration strategies (expand/contract, online DDL)
  • Tune slow queries, indexes, and connection pools using production metrics
  • Define backup/restore SLAs specific to relational and document stores in use
  • Participate in on-call for database incidents and run blameless reviews

What we are looking for

  • DBRE or senior DBA experience with MySQL/Postgres or similar at scale
  • Deep knowledge of replication, locking, and transaction isolation pitfalls
  • Scripting for automation (Orchestrator, pt-online-schema-change, custom tooling)
  • Calm under pressure when production queries degrade

Location

Remote-friendly. We hire globally and collaborate async-first across time zones.
