  • Support database provisioning and automation efforts aligned to IaC and CI/CD strategies
  • Develop standards, documentation, and operational runbooks to scale institutional knowledge
  • Help guide long-term data architecture, governance, and compliance best practices

Requirements

  • 5+ years of hands-on database administration experience across SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or equivalent platforms
  • Strong background in performance tuning, capacity planning, and query optimization
  • Familiarity with infrastructure automation and IaC tools (Terraform, Ansible, etc.)
  • Experience collaborating cross-functionally with data, BI, and application engineering teams
  • Demonstrated ability to standardize, document, and scale DB management practices
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to influence without authority
  • Alignment to Axon values: Obsess Over Customers, Win Right, Aim Far, Join Forces, Expect Candor, and Own It
