We’re on a mission to deliver infinite ways to play using cutting-edge technologies like AI and machine learning to craft immersive experiences that connect, inspire and entertain millions of players worldwide.

    From our start as a small mobile games company founded in Israel to our current position as a publicly traded company and industry leader, we continue to be a dominant force in interactive entertainment. With a diverse portfolio of award-winning, category-leading Casual and Social Casino-themed games, including nine of the top 100 highest-grossing mobile games in the US, we're setting the standard for excellence.

    Our success story is co-authored by a dynamic team of storytellers, strategists, creators and data scientists who thrive on innovation. We are home of the best, advancing an inclusive culture that embraces our core values and reflects our agile DNA.

    With a strong financial foundation, disciplined operations, unwavering player-focused approach and relentless can-do spirit, we're well-positioned for sustained growth. If you're ready to join the driving force behind the evolution of interactive entertainment, we invite you to come play with us.

    At Playtika, our games reach millions of players every day, and it’s our infrastructure that makes this scale possible. We operate a mix of cutting-edge technologies across global studios, running on top of distributed clusters. As part of our DBA Infrastructure team, you’ll work at the heart of this ecosystem, ensuring our data systems stay fast, reliable, and ready to support the next big game.

    The full tech stack we use includes:

    Infra Platforms: Kubernetes

    What will you be doing?

    • Operate and maintain large-scale production database infrastructure across global studio environments.
    • Ensure the availability, reliability, and performance of mission-critical data systems.
    • Collaborate with SRE, infrastructure, and development teams to design and support resilient, scalable, and cost-efficient database solutions.
    • Own the full database lifecycle: provisioning, configuration, monitoring, upgrades, and disaster recovery.
    • Drive automation, standardization, and operational excellence across database environments.
    • Participate in on-call rotations and incident response, contributing to global database stability.

    Your Experience & Skills

    • 3–5 years of experience as a production DBA in a global, high-availability environment.
    • Experience with MariaDB, SingleStore, or PostgreSQL – strong advantage.
    • Solid understanding of replication, clustering, and distributed database systems.
    • Familiarity with containerized DB deployments – an advantage.
    • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a proactive, infrastructure-oriented mindset.

    What will make you shine above others

    • A passion for automation and innovation — you don’t just fix problems, you eliminate them.
    • Experience running databases at scale.
    • The ability to bridge worlds: you can speak SQL with developers, infra with SREs, and strategy with managers.
    • Curiosity and a growth mindset — eager to learn, share, and raise the bar for the whole team.
