Contract: Senior Database Automation Engineer (APAC) at Upwork

This role is designed for a senior Database Engineer who has evolved into a Software Developer (or vice-versa). You should have at least 7 years of deep experience with relational databases—specifically **PostgreSQL**—and the ability to write production-grade **Python** automation frameworks. This is not a "maintenance" DBA role; it is a system orchestration position focused on infrastructure-as-code and zero-downtime migrations. A major highlight of this position is the remote flexibility tailored specifically for the **APAC timezone**. While it is a full-time contract via Upwork’s Hybrid Workforce Solutions, you will be deeply integrated into the core Data Infrastructure team. You will be expected to participate in a 24/7 on-call rotation (including weekends), though the team notes that actual incident frequency is low and workload balance is prioritized after any outages. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have 7+ years of experience with PostgreSQL and feel comfortable managing high-scale, mission-critical data. * Can build robust automation frameworks in Python (not just simple Bash or SQL scripts). * Are familiar with Terraform and AWS (RDS) for provisioning global infrastructure. * Are based in an APAC timezone and are comfortable with weekend on-call shifts.
