Join us in redefining the creator economy with AI
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.
