About the role

As a Database Engineer on the Professional Archive team, you'll operate as a subject-matter expert for the data infrastructure that powers our platform – driving the architecture, scaling, and reliability decisions that keep high-velocity, compliance-critical systems performant and secure. You'll work with SQL Server environments spanning multi-terabyte data volumes, tables with billions of rows, and sustained throughput exceeding 100,000 transactions per second. You'll work independently through ambiguous and unfamiliar problems, set technical direction for real-time data pipelines and system performance, and act as a go-to resource for engineers across the wider organization. Your work will directly shape how Smarsh clients meet their compliance needs through scalable, dependable data and search capabilities. You'll partner with leaders across Product Management, Engineering, and Site Reliability, weighing a range of inputs to resolve complex challenges and influence strategy beyond your immediate team. We're looking for someone who brings deep technical judgment, mentors others, and is motivated to make an impact through thoughtful, high-leverage engineering.

Requirements

  • If you don't meet every qualification listed below, we still encourage you to apply. We value diverse experiences and perspectives. Progression to this level reflects demonstrated ability to perform as a subject-matter expert, not years of experience alone.
  • 7+ years of hands-on experience with Microsoft SQL Server in a production environment, with demonstrated impact as a subject-matter expert
  • Deep expertise in schema and data model design, including normalization, partitioning, and indexing strategy for both OLTP workloads
  • Advanced proficiency in performance tuning, including T-SQL and stored procedure optimization, execution plan analysis, and query tuning at scale
  • Proven, hands-on experience managing and troubleshooting SQL Server databases at terabyte scale, including tables with billions of rows, and sustained throughput exceeding 100k transactions per second
  • Demonstrated ability to diagnose and resolve production capacity and contention issues at this scale, including lock/latch contention, TempDB performance, and transaction management
  • Experience designing for horizontal as well as vertical scalability, anticipating data growth before it becomes a production risk
  • Familiarity with NoSQL technologies (e.g., MongoDB, Cassandra, DynamoDB) is a plus
  • Experience with cloud database platforms (e.g., AWS RDS/Aurora, MongoDB Atlas) is a plus
