About Air Apps

At Air Apps, we believe in thinking bigger—and moving faster. We’re a family-founded company on a mission to create the world’s first AI-powered Personal & Entrepreneurial Resource Planner (PRP), and we need your passion and ambition to help us change how people plan, work, and live. Born in Lisbon, Portugal in 2018—and now with offices in both Lisbon and San Francisco—we’ve remained self-funded while reaching over 100 million downloads worldwide.

Our long-term focus drives us to challenge the status quo every day, pushing the boundaries of AI-driven solutions that truly make a difference. Here, you’ll be a creative force, shaping products that empower people across the globe.

Join us on this journey to redefine resource management—and change lives along the way.

The Role

As a Database Administrator (DBA) at Air Apps, you will be responsible for managing, optimizing, and securing large-scale, complex databases. You will work with engineering teams to design, implement, and maintain high-performance, scalable, and resilient database systems that power our AI-driven platform.

Your role will involve database tuning, backup and recovery strategies, monitoring, and ensuring data integrity while working with structured and unstructured data sources.

This is a fully onsite position, based at our office in Lisbon, where you will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams in person and contribute to a dynamic and fast-paced environment. We are open to support with relocation efforts.

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and maintain high-performance database systems to support large-scale applications.
Optimize database queries, indexing strategies, and partitioning to enhance performance.

Implement database security policies, encryption, and access control to protect sensitive data.
Automate database backups, replication, and failover mechanisms.
Work closely with developers to optimize queries, schema design, and data modeling.
Perform capacity planning and monitor database growth trends.
Ensure compliance with data governance, GDPR, and other regulatory requirements.
Stay updated with the latest database technologies, trends, and best practices.

Requirements

Around 4+ years of experience as a Database Administrator (DBA) or similar role.
Expertise in relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server) and/or NoSQL databases (MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra, DynamoDB).
Strong knowledge of database optimization, indexing, partitioning, and replication.
Experience in performance tuning, query optimization, and troubleshooting slow queries.
Familiarity with database backup, recovery, failover, and disaster recovery strategies.
Experience with cloud database services (AWS RDS, Aurora, Google Cloud Spanner, Azure SQL).
Knowledge of scripting for automation (Python, Bash, SQL scripts).
Understanding of data security best practices, encryption, and compliance requirements.
Experience working with large, complex datasets and high-traffic applications.
Ability to work with DevOps teams to integrate databases into CI/CD workflows.
