=====================================================


Fanvue is the

fastest-growing creator monetisation platform in the creator economy

. We are the leading

AI-powered

creator-first platform, designed to empower creators worldwide to directly monetise their audience. We're on a mission to redefine the creator economy by empowering creators to connect, share, and earn more efficiently.

The Role

------------


We're looking for a

Database Administrator (PostgreSQL / AWS RDS Specialist)

to own the performance, reliability, and scalability of Fanvue's database infrastructure as we continue to grow. You'll be the in-house authority on PostgreSQL and AWS RDS -- the "last line of defence" when it comes to keeping our platform fast, stable, and resilient at scale. This is a senior role with high impact, directly underpinning the performance, uptime, and user experience of Fanvue.

What You'll Do

------------------

Optimise and maintain large-scale

PostgreSQL

databases running on

AWS RDS

. Monitor database health, diagnose bottlenecks, and implement durable fixes. Troubleshoot complex production issues and improve query/index performance. Implement observability and monitoring tools such as

CloudWatch

and

pganalyze

. Guide engineers on database best practices and contribute to long-term architecture decisions. Collaborate with backend and infrastructure teams to ensure stability, scalability, and resilience.

Who You Are

---------------

A senior-level DBA with proven experience running

production PostgreSQL databases at scale

. Deep expertise in

PostgreSQL internals, AWS RDS configuration, migration, and optimisation

. Calm under pressure, confident when guiding others, and pragmatic when solving high-stakes problems. A reliable point of authority with an ownership mindset -- accountable for the health of Fanvue's databases. Strong communicator who can explain complex database concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Nice-to-haves

Experience with

Prisma

or other ORMs. Familiarity with observability tools like

CloudWatch

and

pganalyze

. Exposure to

IaC tools

(Terraform, CDK, etc.).

You'll Thrive Here If

-------------------------

You thrive on ownership and being the go-to expert for critical infrastructure. You stay calm and decisive when things break. You're motivated by scaling systems that power millions of users. You value collaboration and knowledge-sharing as much as technical mastery.

You'll Struggle Here If

---------------------------

You're used to a bureaucratic, slow-moving enterprise environment. You prefer to stay siloed rather than collaborate closely with engineers. You're not comfortable making fast, pragmatic decisions in production-critical situations.
