Job Description
Role Overview
seeking a senior‑level NoSQL Database Administrator to support the Property Engagement Platform (PEP), a mission‑critical, customer‑facing system. While the NoSQL footprint is smaller than Hilton’s relational environment, this role is high impact due to strict availability, latency, and performance requirements. This is a hands‑on, production‑focused role, not advisory or theoretical.
The position is fully remote, operates on U.S. Central Time, and requires a self‑directed senior resource who can operate independently in a complex cloud environment.
Top Technical Skills To Prioritize (Must‑Have)
- Must have 2-4 years of hands-on-use of Couchbase experience**
- AWS DynamoDB (Senior‑Level, Production Experience)
- Hands‑on operational support of DynamoDB in live environments
- Strong understanding of NoSQL data modeling, access patterns, partitioning, and consistency models
- Experience making tradeoffs between on‑demand vs provisioned throughput, autoscaling, and cost optimization
- DAX (Strong Preference)
- Practical experience supporting DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) in production
- Understanding of cache behavior, performance tuning, failover considerations, and latency‑sensitive workloads
- AWS Cloud Fundamentals
- IAM (least‑privilege access, role‑based permissions)
- CloudWatch monitoring and alerting
- KMS, encryption at rest and in transit
- VPC/networking awareness as it relates to database services
- Infrastructure as Code
- Experience using Terraform (or similar IaC tools) to provision and manage DynamoDB, DAX, and supporting infrastructure
- Comfort working alongside Cloud Engineering / DevOps teams
- Production Operations
- Experience supporting 24/7 platforms
- Participation in on‑call rotations
- Incident response, troubleshooting, and post‑incident follow‑ups
- Ability to document runbooks and operational best practices
