The listing
As a Database Engineer on the Professional Archive team, you'll operate as a subject-matter expert for the data infrastructure that powers our platform – driving the architecture, scaling, and reliability decisions that keep high-velocity, compliance-critical systems performant and secure. You'll work with SQL Server environments spanning multi-terabyte data volumes, tables with billions of rows, and sustained throughput exceeding 100,000 transactions per second.
You'll work independently through ambiguous and unfamiliar problems, set technical direction for real-time data pipelines and system performance, and act as a go-to resource for engineers across the wider organization. Your work will directly shape how Smarsh clients meet their compliance needs through scalable, dependable data and search capabilities.
You'll partner with leaders across Product Management, Engineering, and Site Reliability, weighing a range of inputs to resolve complex challenges and influence strategy beyond your immediate team. We're looking for someone who brings deep technical judgment, mentors others, and is motivated to make an impact through thoughtful, high-leverage engineering.
