Database Reliability Engineer, Göteborg

Nordic Investin has been asked to find a Database Reliability Engineer for one of our partner companies. You want technical choices, delivery and production behaviour to reinforce each other, even when the constraints are difficult.

The partner is strengthening its capability in reliable database services with disciplined performance and recovery practices. You will connect PostgreSQL, replication and performance tuning while ensuring that backup and restore and automation receive appropriate discipline. The aim is practical progress that colleagues can use, leaders can evaluate and the organisation can sustain.

The environment rewards early questions, visible trade-offs and engineering discipline. Security and operability belong in the design.

You will work with product, architecture, security, operations and domain colleagues. The partner values short feedback loops, evidence from real systems and direct communication.

This role calls for solid delivery experience and the appetite to take broader ownership. You are expected to make trade-offs visible, recognise when a decision needs wider expertise and move work forward without creating unnecessary process.

Own the practical direction for reliable database services with disciplined performance and recovery practices.

Translate goals and constraints into a clear approach for PostgreSQL and replication.

Establish useful standards, routines or decision artefacts around performance tuning.

Coordinate stakeholders and dependencies affecting backup and restore.

Use evidence and measurable outcomes to improve automation.

Strengthen knowledge sharing and sustainable ownership through incident response.

Relevant experience delivering reliable database services with disciplined performance and recovery practices in a demanding environment.

Strong working knowledge of PostgreSQL and replication.

Practical experience applying performance tuning and backup and restore.

Ability to assess priorities, risks and trade-offs involving automation.

Evidence of clear stakeholder communication and dependable end-to-end ownership.

Professional English and the judgement to work with sensitive or business-critical information.

Experience that would add value

Experience from SaaS transaction services and enterprise platforms.

Exposure to incident response in a cross-functional or multi-team environment.

Swedish language skills or experience working across Nordic organisations.

A background that can succeed here

Your background may be product engineering, platform work, enterprise technology or consulting. What matters is technical depth connected to user and business consequences. Direct experience of reliable database services with disciplined performance and recovery practices is valuable, while adjacent experience counts when it shows transferable judgement.

What makes the opportunity interesting

The role offers meaningful ownership and the opportunity to influence both the solution and the decisions around it. The focus on reliable database services with disciplined performance and recovery practices gives the opportunity a clear mission and room to influence priorities and success measures.

The exact partner, employment model, compensation, start date and working arrangement will be explained openly during the process. Nordic Investin will make sure you understand the opportunity before asking you to make a decision.

Nordic Investin will focus on decisions you have made: the context, alternatives, result and what you would change today. You will also have room to ask direct questions and test whether the role, mandate and partner environment are right for you.
