This is 100% remote across India
About OpenTable:
With millions of diners, 60,000+ restaurant partners and 25+ years of experience, OpenTable, part of Booking Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BKNG), is an industry leader with a passion for helping restaurants thrive. Our world-class technology empowers restaurants to focus on what matters most – their team, their guests, and their bottom line – while enabling diners to discover and book the perfect restaurant for every occasion.
Every employee at OpenTable has a tangible impact on what we do and how we do it. You’ll also be part of a global team and its portfolio of metasearch brands. Hospitality is all about taking care of others, and it defines our culture.
The Role
Be part of a strong, collaborative team dedicated to providing 24/7 support to OpenTable's global data platforms. Work with both RDBMS and NoSQL technologies that power the core of our business. You will be responsible for operations and maintenance across multiple database platforms, including high availability, backups, performance monitoring and optimization, focusing on PostgreSQL and No SQL technologies such as MongoDB, Redis, and Elastic Search.
OpenTable's current platform is primarily based on SQL Server, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and Redis. We are specifically looking for someone with good operational experience in PostgreSQL or MongoDB. Experience with continuous integration and automation tools such as Puppet, as well as strong unix/linux skills are required. You should have excellent communication skills . Must be able to work independently and without direct supervision.
Key Responsibilities
Act as the primary SRE partner for the DBA team, bringing deep systems and reliability expertise to all managed database platforms.
Own the end-to-end observability stack for databases – define and implement metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, and actionable alerts for PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, OpenSearch, YugabyteDB and related services.
Design, implement, and continuously improve monitoring and alerting specifically for database reliability (replication lag, connection saturation, query latency, storage and WAL usage, vacuum/bloat, backup health, etc.).
Lead and participate in on-call and incident response for database or system incidents
Build and maintain automation and self-service workflows for the DBA team using any Infrastructure and configuration management (Puppet/Ansible) – e.g. cluster provisioning, configuration rollout, user/role management, backup/restore orchestration, and failover procedures.
Develop and maintain runbooks, playbooks, and standard operating procedures for SRE aspects of database operations
Champion an automation-first, “no manual changes” culture for database and platform changes, and actively work to reduce toil through tooling and platform improvements.
Be a member of a weekly 24/7 on-call rotation
Strong collaboration skills as well as the ability to work independently
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
4–7 years of total experience, with strong focus on SRE / Production Engineering / Platform Engineering
Solid experience running Linux-based production systems at scale
Proficiency in Infrastructure and configuration management (Puppet)
Familiarity with containerization and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) is a plus.
Strong scripting / programming skills in one or more:
Python, Go, Shell (bash), or similar
Solid experience with Git and GitHub – branching and PR workflows, code reviews, and automating operations via GitHub Actions or similar CI systems.
Experience building/maintaining CI/CD pipelines and integrating operational checks and tests
Excellent problem-solving skills and a proactive, 'can-do' attitude.
Strong communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with cross-functional teams.
Practical experience with:
Metrics (Prometheus, CloudWatch, Grafana, etc.)
Alerting (PagerDuty.)
Nice to Have
Comfortable partnering with DBAs as domain experts, focusing your own work on systems, automation, and observability around database platforms rather than schema/query design.
Interest in learning more about how databases behave in production (replication, failover, backups, performance) from a reliability and systems perspective.

Work from (almost) anywhere for up to 20 days per year
Focus on mental health and well-being
Company-paid therapy sessions through SpringHealth
