Senior Cloud Database Engineer (Hybrid - Seattle, WA)

Job DescriptionAbout the Role
Nordstrom’s Database Platform Services team keeps the data infrastructure powering our business running — Oracle, MSSQL, and PostgreSQL at enterprise scale — while actively building the cloud-native database platform that will define the next decade. We’re looking for a Senior Cloud Database Engineer who brings AWS as their primary strength and genuine Oracle and MSSQL operational depth as a non-negotiable foundation.


This is not a pure cloud role. You’ll be the AWS subject matter expert on a team of seasoned DBAs, leading our cloud database platform buildout on RDS, Aurora PostgreSQL, and Aurora DSQL while also owning production responsibility for mission-critical Oracle and MSSQL systems through an active migration period. You’ll establish AWS standards from the ground up, mentor experienced engineers expanding into cloud-native practices, and carry accountability across both worlds.
