- Diagnose and resolve slow queries, locking issues, index inefficiencies, and capacity bottlenecks
- Implement security best practices:
- Authentication & authorisation (RBAC)
- TLS / encryption at rest
- Auditing and access controls
- Automate MongoDB operations using Ansible, scripts, and CI/CD pipelines
- Support MongoDB deployments on AWS / Azure / GCP
- Work closely with application and DevOps teams on schema design and performance optimisation
- Participate in on-call rotations and handle production incidents
- Maintain operational documentation and runbooks
Mandatory Technical Skills

- Strong hands-on expertise with:
- MongoDB Replica Sets
- MongoDB Sharding

- 2–3 years of hands-on PostgreSQL experience, including:

- Capacity planning and scaling
- Strong Linux/Unix administration skills
- Scripting skills:
- Bash
- Python (preferred)
- Automation experience using:
- Ansible
- Git
- Experience with cloud-based MongoDB deployments (self-managed or Atlas)
Desirable Skills (Strong Advantage)
- MongoDB Atlas administration
- Terraform / Infrastructure as Code
- Jenkins / GitLab CI
- Kubernetes (MongoDB on K8s)
- Exposure to banking, fintech, or regulated environments
Education & Certifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent – Preferred
- MongoDB Certified DBA / Developer – Nice to have
Behavioural Expectations (Non-Negotiable)
