Job role - We are seeking a  Db2 Data Engineer to join our Db2 Reliability Pod , a team focused on engineering resilient, highly available, and recoverable data platforms. This role is responsible for designing and automating reliability capabilities that ensure critical Db2-based services remain available, recoverable, and scalable.  

Unlike a traditional Db2 Database Administrator (DBA) role, this position focuses on platform engineering, resilience, automation, observability, and data replication architecture , rather than routine database administration activities. The role aligns with reliability initiatives involving high availability, failover, replication, disaster recovery, and operational readiness.  

Key Responsibilities  

• Design and engineer high-availability, disaster recovery, and data replication solutions for Db2 environments.  

• Develop automated resiliency capabilities, including failover, recovery, validation, and operational workflows.  

• Build and maintain data movement and replication frameworks that ensure data integrity and consistency across environments.  

• Create observability solutions, dashboards, monitoring, and reliability metrics to proactively detect and prevent service disruptions.  

• Drive continuous improvement through root cause analysis, reliability engineering practices, and platform modernization.  

• Develop Infrastructure-as-Code, automation, and self-service capabilities to reduce operational effort and improve scalability.  

• Partner with application, infrastructure, cloud, and database teams to establish resilient end-to-end data services.  

• Support disaster recovery exercises, failover testing, and operational readiness planning through documented procedures and runbooks.  

Required Qualifications  

• Experience with IBM Db2 and enterprise data platforms.  

• Strong understanding of data replication, high availability, disaster recovery, and data resilience patterns.  

• Proficiency in SQL and one or more scripting/programming languages such as Python or Shell.  

• Experience with automation frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and Infrastructure-as-Code tools.  

• Knowledge of monitoring, observability, and operational excellence practices.  

• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and collaboration skills.  

Preferred Qualifications  

• Experience with cloud platforms such as Azure, AWS, or GCP.  

• Knowledge of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles.  

• Experience with distributed systems, event-driven architectures, Data Replication techniques, and data streaming technologies.  

• Familiarity with large-scale production environments supporting mission-critical business services.  

What Makes This Role Different from a DBA? 

This role focuses on:  

• Reliability engineering  

• Replication architecture  

• HA/DR design  

• Automation and platform engineering  

• Observability and resiliency  

• Data service modernization  

This role does not own:  

• Database installation and upgrades  

• User access administration  

• Routine database maintenance  

• Backup administration  

• Day-to-day database operations  

• Traditional performance tuning and ticket support  

If you are passionate about building highly resilient data platforms and solving complex reliability challenges at enterprise scale, we encourage you to apply.
