Sr. DBA (MySQL) Zuora
Job Description:This role is primarily an 'operational DBA' as opposed to a 'development DBA' however the perfect candidate will be just as fluent in both.
The ideal candidate for this role will have specific expertise in building, managing, and scaling MySQL database platforms for high volume online service businesses. This role will be responsible for ensuring the database platforms used across all Zuora infrastructures operate optimally to sustain or exceed Zuora's service level agreements and application response times. As the performance of the database is critical to the response time of the application, and the Zuora service is business critical to every single one of its customers, this role is critical to the success of the business itself. You will make a major difference in how the service scales and sustains data recovery capabilities. Your career will grow with the business which is growing at exponential rates. Now is a great time to join the team as one of the early members of the TechOps organization with dedicated focus on database systems management.

This role must be security minded and continuously exercise good judgment in ensuring the privacy and integrity of data. Prior experience in managing database systems that store highly sensitive data and adhere to regulatory compliance such as PCI and SAS70/SSAE16 is a must.
This role will work closely with fellow members of the TechOps team to drive best practices in infrastructure design and data replication to maintain business continuity and performance.
