You will work with global database engineering pods to define Kubernetes-native deployment standards, mentor database engineers, and represent Postgres platform requirements in executive planning and vendor negotiations.

You will:

• Architect and lead PostgreSQL platform strategy across Dell's global fleet - HA design, disaster recovery, security hardening, and performance baselines for thousands of instances
• Design and implement Postgres-on-Kubernetes at scale using operators (CloudNativePG/Patroni), storage architecture, multi-region failover, and observability integration
• Build agentic/autonomous tooling for self-healing failover, automated VACUUM/analyze scheduling, and predictive capacity alerts using LLM-augmented logic
• Author Infrastructure-as-Code modules (Ansible)
• Mentor engineers through weekly architecture reviews and represent Postgres requirements planning and vendor negotiations
