Site Reliability Engineer ll (DBA)

Backblaze is the object storage leader in the open cloud movement, fueling customer success with cloud storage built purposefully to unlock budgets, unburden administrators, and unleash innovators. Together with our partners, we’re helping customers break free from the restrictive, overpriced legacy solutions that hold them back, and blaze forward with the full power of the open cloud in their hands.

Founded in 2007, we scaled the business with less than $3 million in outside funding until 2021, when we did a traditional IPO on the Nasdaq stock exchange. Today, Backblaze generates over $136M ARR and is the leading specialized storage cloud, managing over three billion gigabytes of data storage for 500K+ customers in 175+ countries, including businesses, developers, IT professionals, and individuals.

But while there is a lot to celebrate in our past, there is almost as much opportunity ahead of us. We’re seeking a Sr. Reliability Engineer ll (DBA) to join our team!

We are seeking a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) with a DBA (Database Administration) focus to help ensure the stability, scalability, and reliability of our production database systems - primarily Vitess (distributed MySQL) and Cassandra - alongside the rest of our services and infrastructure. This role operates within procedures and runbooks established by our senior DBA SREs, and focuses on building automation, maintaining observability, and supporting incident response to keep customer-facing systems performing at their best.

The SRE will collaborate with engineering, product, and operations teams to embed reliability practices into day-to-day development and operations while contributing to tools and processes that improve efficiency and reduce manual effort
