About WhatConvertsWhatConverts is a B2B SaaS company specializing in marketing attribution and lead-tracking solutions.

As a remote-first company, we foster a mission-focused and performance-driven culture, valuing integrity, initiative, and innovation.

Position OverviewWe’re looking for a DBA or SQL Developer who can jump into a high-impact environment and own the performance, reliability, and structure of our MySQL databases. If you thrive on writing efficient queries, tuning schemas, and ensuring data is always clean, fast, and available, this role is for you.

In This Role, You Will
• Build and optimize queries and indexes for high-traffic production applications
• Work closely with developers to improve app performance and support migrations
• Maintain and administer RDS MySQL environments
• Drive schema evolution, backups, and disaster recovery readiness

• Comfortable working across AWS tools (especially RDS) and navigating cloud infra
• Strong attention to data integrity, automation, and performance monitoring
• Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and ready to take ownership of key systems
• Collaborative mindset, but also confident working independently

This role is ideal for someone who knows how to make databases fast, clean, and dependable — and enjoys working closely with developers to make that happen.
