Lead PostgreSQL Administrator

About the Role

Boring Road in Patna has a Lead PostgreSQL Administrator opening, full time, on site, with a team responsible for database reliability at real scale. Eleven years of experience is the expectation, and this lead role carries genuine authority over database architecture decisions.

A Day in This Job

The work covers designing and maintaining database structures, optimizing queries for performance, managing backups and data security, and monitoring systems for reliability. A lead administrator here reviews schema and replication decisions from other administrators, since a poorly designed replication setup can create real data consistency risk under failover conditions.

Skills That Matter

• PostgreSQL at a genuinely expert level
• SQL
• Replication and failover design
• Backup, recovery, and performance tuning

Good to Have

Experience designing a multi-region replication strategy, familiarity with a specific high-availability tooling stack for PostgreSQL, and any background where a real failover event tested a disaster recovery plan under genuine pressure.

• Paid time off
• Performance-linked bonuses
• Relocation assistance and accommodation support for candidates moving to Patna
