Huntress is growing our SRE Engineering team and is looking for an experienced engineer who is passionate about stability, resilience, and scalability. You’ll be joining a high-performing team responsible for proactively building, monitoring, and implementing the databases that are a core part of the Huntress Security Platform and supporting our millions of installed endpoint agents.

Continuously review and fine-tune critical PostgreSQL configuration parameters (e.g., shared_buffers, work_mem, autovacuum settings) to maximize resource utilization and match the current workload profile.

Forecast future resource needs based on application growth and agent usage trends, and propose scaling solutions.

Design, implement, and manage comprehensive monitoring dashboards and alerting systems to track key performance indicators (KPIs) like latency, throughput, connection count, and cache hit ratio.

Design, implement, and maintain optimal indexing strategies to support application requirements, and systematically identify and remove redundant or underutilized indexes that degrade write performance.

Implement and manage advanced scaling techniques such as database partitioning for large tables and, where necessary, coordinate efforts for database sharding.

Partner with SRE team to optimize PostgreSQL deployments in Azure, ensuring efficient use of cloud-specific storage and networking.

Provide technical guidance to application teams on their query/schema/index designs.

What You Bring To The Team:

5+ years experience with scaling, configuration, maintenance and management of PostgreSQL clusters in production environments.

Expertise in designing, implementing, and supporting replication (e.g., streaming replication, logical replication), failover mechanisms, and robust backup/recovery strategies

Deep understanding of PostgreSQL's core architecture, including the WAL, transaction management, locking mechanisms, and the role of background processes like autovacuum.
