About the role
Backblaze is seeking a Site Reliability Engineer III (DBA) to ensure the stability and reliability of production database systems, primarily Vitess and Cassandra. You will design architecture, develop runbooks, and own on-call incident response with a focus on scalable, observable infrastructure.
You’ll automate routine DB tasks, participate in disaster recovery planning, and collaborate with Kubernetes, CI/CD, and data infrastructure teams.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
