Koda Staff is working exclusively with GAMING1 to hire a Senior Database Reliability Engineer to join its growing Platform Engineering organisation. This role sits at the intersection of database engineering and platform engineering , helping build the PostgreSQL and messaging capabilities that power Product Engineering teams across the business.
As part of a broader Platform Engineering scale-up, GAMING1 is investing heavily in creating a faster, safer, and more self-service infrastructure foundation — and this role will play a key part in making that happen.
The Opportunity:
As a Senior Database Reliability Engineer, you will treat relational data and messaging as code — building reliable, scalable, and self-service platform capabilities that Product Engineers can consume without friction.
Your primary focus will be PostgreSQL on CloudNativePG, alongside RabbitMQ operations and reusable messaging patterns that support teams operating at scale in a regulated environment.
This is a highly autonomous role for engineers who enjoy combining infrastructure reliability, automation,



platform thinking, and developer enablement.
Your Mission:
Build and evolve PostgreSQL and messaging platform capabilities
Enable Product Engineers through self-service data and transport primitives
Embed reliability, observability, and compliance by default
Reduce operational friction through automation and platform engineering practices
Raise standards across database reliability and Kubernetes-stateful operations
Key Responsibilities:
Own the PostgreSQL golden path on CloudNativePG
Manage provisioning, upgrades, backup/restore, replication, HA, and observability as code
Expose database capabilities to Product Engineering teams through self-service patterns
Messaging & Platform Reliability
Operate RabbitMQ alongside the Platform Engineering team
Build reusable messaging patterns and transport capabilities
Improve reliability and scalability across messaging infrastructure
