What this job asks for AI summary
A Senior Database Engineer role within Wells Fargo's IT Service Operations group, focused on planning, implementing, and operating next-generation distributed database platforms — primarily MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and YugabyteDB — at enterprise scale. The role spans day-to-day administration, high-availability design, performance troubleshooting, capacity planning, and vendor engagement, while also advising application and architecture teams on database strategy. Candidates should be comfortable with Agile delivery and on-call production support in a regulated financial environment.

Why we read it this way (5)
The MongoDB/PostgreSQL/YugabyteDB requirement is stated as 'MongoDB, PostgreSQL or YugabyteDB' — meaning at least one of the three is required. All three are listed as separate skills here because the posting treats them as the core platform stack the team operates; the 'or' reflects that deep expertise in any one qualifies, but the team uses all three.
The role straddles database administration (15-1242) and database architecture/design (15-1243) — it involves both hands-on operations and architectural advisory work. 15-1242 was chosen as primary because day-to-day administration, patching, upgrades, and production support are the dominant responsibilities.
No specific work locations are named in the posting beyond 'one of the posted locations'; the CBSA is therefore unspecified. The role is hybrid (not fully remote).
The 'Desired Skills' section lists analytical skills, communication, Agile delivery tools, scripting/development tools, experience in regulated banking, and experience with large transactional/analytical platforms — these are framed as soft skills or generic experience rather than named technologies, so no additional preferred skills were emitted.
No visa sponsorship and no relocation allowance are explicitly stated.
