This role involves supporting data migration efforts across hybrid-cloud environments (on-prem ↔ AWS ↔ Ali Cloud) with minimal downtime and guaranteed data integrity, following established runbooks and adhering to local data residency and regulatory requirements (e.g., China's Cybersecurity Law and PIPL). This role requires good communication and collaboration with Core Storage teams and colleagues across a distributed team.","responsibilities":"Apply core SRE concepts - monitoring, alerting, and incident management - with growing independence.

Support performance engineering efforts (profiling, tuning) across transactional engines, under guidance from senior team members.
Assist with service management across bare metal, virtualized (EC2, Ali Cloud ECS), and containerized (K8s) style platforms.
Execute and support data migration tasks across hybrid clouds, including validation and rollback support.
Build understanding of operating systems and datacenter architecture concepts relevant to transactional workloads.
Produce and maintain clear documentation - runbooks, architecture diagrams, and migration playbook updates.
Support compliance with local data residency and regulatory requirements applicable to China-based infrastructure.

Preferred Qualifications
Some operational experience with stateful services on Kubernetes (operators, StatefulSets, CSI storage).
Exposure to database-as-a-service control planes, provisioning APIs, or self-service tooling.
Experience assisting with cross-cloud / hybrid-cloud data migrations for transactional systems.
Familiarity with observability concepts (SLIs/SLOs), backup, and DR practices for OLTP/distributed-SQL engines.
Proficiency in Mandarin (spoken and written), to support coordination with local Ali Cloud teams and regional vendors/partners.
Contributions to open-source database projects or internal data-platform tooling.

Minimum Qualifications
BS or MS in Computer Science / related fields or equivalent work experience, with 3-5 years in a Site Reliability Engineering / Infrastructure focused role.
Hands-on production experience with at least one of Oracle, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or CockroachDB, including exposure to On Call and Incident Management.
Exposure to running infrastructure with reliance on automation tooling, across Datacenter and Cloud architectures (including Alibaba Cloud/Ali Cloud and/or AWS).
Solid troubleshooting skills, a resourceful first-principles approach to problem solving, and good technical writing habits.
