Performance engineering (Primary)
• Profile and optimize slow queries and aggregation pipelines using explain plans, the database profiler, and log analysis.
• Design, review and rationalize indexes (compound, partial, wildcard, Time To Live (TTL), text, geospatial) applying the Equality, Sort, Range (ESR) rule; eliminate unused and redundant indexes that inflate write cost and cache pressure.
• Tune the WiredTiger storage engine: internal cache sizing, eviction and checkpoint behavior, compression, and journaling, balanced against filesystem cache. Operations & reliability
• Operate and scale sharded clusters: balancer management, chunk/range distribution, jumbo-chunk remediation, and (on modern versions) resharding.
• Own backup/restore and Point-In-Time Recovery (PITR) strategy, plus rolling upgrades and patching with zero or minimal downtime.
Infrastructure, OS & platform
• Right-size EC2 instances and EBS volumes (Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS) and throughput provisioning); on Kubernetes, own StatefulSet storage class, resource requests/limits, anti-affinity, and cache sizing against container memory limits. Partner with application teams on data modeling; review schema changes; publish standards, runbooks and capacity guidance.
