At Cisco Meraki, we know that technology can connect, empower, and drive us. Our mission is to simplify technology so our customers can focus on what's most meaningful to them: their students, patients, customers, and businesses. We’re making networking easier, faster, and smarter with technology that simply works. We maintain a positive relationship with Cisco that gives us the stability and resources of a larger company without sacrificing our startup vibe.

Our devices are some of the most popular in the world: there are over 7 million devices online globally. This popularity comes with large scalability challenges: our backend handles more than 10 billion of requests to our devices 24/7/365.

About the role

In near real time, Cisco Meraki collects massive amounts of data from its devices all over the world. We write nearly 7 million data points each second globally every day. This data, helps power our Dashboard and gives our customers insight into the state of their networks. As a member of the Data Infrastructure team, you will administer, scale, secure, and maintain our on-prem relational and non-relational database systems. You will work with all Engineering teams throughout Cisco Meraki guiding them towards best practices to meet the data requirements for their use cases.

What you will do:

  • Work alongside our SRE teams to plan, administer, maintain and secure our PostgreSQL infrastructure across our backend
  • Ensure systems are running at the highest possible performance level by analyzing and tuning queries
  • Review database changes requested by engineering teams for impacts to database designs, design standards, data conversions, naming standards, and documentation
  • Learn about the data and it’s used to make recommendations for improvements in how it is stored and processed
  • Work with Data Engineering team to design, build and maintain ETL pipelines for PG
  • Develop procedures and scripts for data migration
  • Guide engineers on performance tuning and optimization, query optimization, index tuning, caching, buffer tuning, etc.
  • Perform operational DBA duties: installation, database upgrades, patching, implement backup/recovery and monitoring procedures, capacity planning, and site failover/switchover
  • Automate schema management with tools like Liquibase, ActiveRecords, etc.
  • Support architectural changes with new database environments in both public and private clouds

About you

  • Deep knowledge and experience designing and maintaining PostgreSQL relational databases
  • Experience building and maintaining complex mission-critical production database systems
  • Experience analyzing issues holistically, from the application tier through the database, down to the storage
  • Proven track record of automating tasks
  • Working knowledge of relational database internals (locking, consistency, serialization, recovery paths)
  • Systems engineering experience, including Linux performance, memory management, I/O tuning, configuration, security, networking, etc.
  • Working knowledge of at least one scripting language (shell, Python, Perl)

We encourage you to drop us a line even if you don’t have all the points above. That's a lot of different areas of responsibility! We will help you pick them up because we believe that great engineers come from diverse backgrounds.
