Google Cloud Non-Relational Database Engineer

Google Cloud non-relational database engineer is sought to design, implement, and manage database systems on the Google Cloud Platform. This role requires expertise in non-relational database technologies (Mongo, Firestore, Bigtable, Memorystore for Redis, Memorystore for Valkey, Neo4j), cloud-native architecture, in depth knowledge of Google Cloud Backup and Recovery, and experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services. A strong background in NoSQL and experience with database migrations, Data modeling, and Performance optimization, monitoring tools are also essential.

• NoSQL Database Engineering, part of Hosting Engineering department involves engineering new versions of NoSQL Databases, evaluate security patches, provide L3 support, technology management, GRC etc.

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Design and maintain production-grade infrastructure usingTerraform . Ensure all cloud resources are version-controlled and deployed via automated pipelines.

• Observability Reliability: Set up comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting using theDynatrace. Define and track SLIs, SLOs, and Error Budgets.

• Developer Enablement: Build internal tooling and documentation to help application developers self-serve their infrastructure needs while maintaining compliance and governance.

• Cost Optimization: Monitor cloud consumption and implement cost-saving strategies such as Committed Use Discounts (CUDs) and rightsizing of compute resources.

• Data Security Protection: Enforce security best practices usingIAM roles, Workload Identity, and Organization Policy Service and ensure RTO RPO requirements are met.

• Implement secure authentication between the AI Client (e.g., an agentic loop) and the MCP Server. UseGCP IAM Workload Identity andOAuth2 to ensure agents operate within strict permission boundaries.

• Implement end-to-end tracing to monitor the flow from the AI Agent MCP Server GCP Data Source.

• Experience with architecting and engineering of High Availability and Disaster Recovery solutions for NoSQL Databases

• Inter-personnel skills working with other team members in same and across organization

• Writing and assisting developers with Terraform, Blueprints, and APIs

• Create and maintain CI/CD Pipelines

• Deliver Databasefeatures to customers through Github Repo Enhancemnts

• Strong understanding of SRE principles, including the implementation and management of SLOs and Error Budget

• Expertise in developing observability dashboards to visualize app-to-database dependencies, enabling side-by-side health monitoring and accelerated incident resolution.

• Integrate GCP database logs with Dynatrace to centralize observability, configure DQL-based anomaly detection and provide deep-dive analysis for cloud-native workloads.

• Designing and implementing non-relational database solutions on GCP, including choosing appropriate services like .
  Mongo, Firestore, Bigtable, Memorystore, or Neo4j

• Managing and maintaining database infrastructure, including provisioning, configuration, and Optimizing database performance through query tuning, indexing, and capacity planning.

• Migrating existing on-premises databases to Google Cloud Platform, ensuring data integrity and minimal downtime.

• Developing and maintaining logical and physical data models for non-relational databases.

• Implementing and maintaining security best practices for database systems on GCP, including access controls and encryption, Peach dashboard, and Cycode.

• Monitoring database performance, identifying and resolving issues, and providing support for database-related problems using Dynatrace, Query Insights, and System insights.

• Writing, code reviewing, deploying Terraform code and maintaining service module repositories.

• Designing and maintaining Miro board diagrams/workflow for several ongoing projects.

• Requires a bachelors or foreign equivalent degree in computer science, information technology or a technology related field

• Minimum of7 years of overall IT experience

• 3 years of experience database administration or engineering.

• Strong knowledge inGCP non-relational databases like Mongo Atlas, Neo4j AuraDB, Firestore, Bigtable, Memorystore for Redis, and Memorystore for Valkey. GCP Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer certification preferred.

• Experience with Cloud Run and Cloud Functions for event-driven architectures.
