/ Specialist sourcing
Clarify versions, workload, replication topology, WAL retention, VACUUM pressure, slow queries and recovery objectives. Performance consulting and operational ownership need different experience.
Review a real incident involving replication lag, lock contention or a faulty query plan and how the engineer verified the fix without risking data integrity.
Role-specific sourcing, not a promise of current candidate availability.
/ Engineering teams
Our experience with complex commerce, SaaS and fintech applications gives useful context for assessing data engineers. For PostgreSQL searches we focus on measurable experience in query performance, high availability, restores and application integration.
/ Technical specializations
A PostgreSQL role may be a production DBA, platform engineer or data-focused backend specialist. Specify the actual ownership before hiring.
EXPLAIN ANALYZE, join strategies, index design, statistics, I/O and slow-query regression investigation.
Streaming/logical replication, replicas, lag, failover, Patroni or equivalent cluster controls.
PITR, pgBackRest or backup tooling, restore rehearsals, RPO/RTO and data-loss safeguards.
MVCC, autovacuum, bloat, checkpoints, partitioning and capacity forecasting.
Lock contention, isolation levels, connection pooling, PgBouncer and migration sequencing.
Major-version changes, extensions, monitoring, permissions, security and repeatable operations.
/ Project scenarios
Trace query-plan drift, index selectivity, connection pressure and disk behavior.
Define replication, failover, recovery testing and observability with platform owners.
Plan data changes, compatibility, phased cutover, validation and rollback.
Tune autovacuum and partitioning, forecast storage and remove operational toil.
/ Practical evaluation
Technical review should use production incidents, measurable outcomes and the exact database deployment model.
Can the engineer interpret EXPLAIN, cardinality, statistics and index tradeoffs?
Can they walk through WAL, failover, PITR, replica lag and verified restore drills?
How do they reason about locks, transaction boundaries, PgBouncer and online schema changes?
How are metrics, upgrades, access controls, runbooks and capacity decisions managed?
/ Sourcing process
PostgreSQL version, HA topology, cloud/self-hosted model, datasets and SLOs.
Search network and regional DBA/data-platform recruiting channels.
Assess SQL tuning, replication, incidents, backup/recovery and application context.
Align DBA/platform boundaries, security access, availability and change processes.
Profiles, availability and engagement terms are confirmed for each request.
/ Questions
It depends on whether the work centers on database operations/HA or application query patterns and data modeling. We use your responsibilities to target the right background.
Yes. Specify streaming or logical replication, deployment model, failover tooling, RPO/RTO and recovery testing.
Often query plans, indexes, statistics and configuration are relevant, but some issues require application changes. We qualify candidates against the full system.
Yes. Include the precise tooling, PostgreSQL version and platform environment in the brief; candidate experience is checked before introduction.
