Description
WOO X is a global centralised crypto futures and spot trading platform offering best-in-class liquidity and price execution. WOO X has an average daily volume exceeding $1.5 billion and is home to hundreds of thousands of traders worldwide. WOO X traders benefit from radical transparency through our industry-first live Proof of Reserves & Liabilities dashboard and the company's mission to maintain the trust of its growing community of traders. Our team of 200+ highly-talented employees works from 12 cities across eight countries in Europe and Asia 🚀 Our vision is to inspire confidence, higher performance, and joy in every user. We have a mission to provide the best liquidity on the best terms. We compete not just on price execution but also on integrity, user experience, innovative tools, and global opportunities. About the opportunity: We’re looking for a Senior DBA to join our Backend Infra Team, which focuses on building and maintaining the core infrastructure that powers WOO X’s trading, asset, and order systems 24/7. The team is dedicated to optimizing system reliability, database performance, and scalability under extreme market conditions. If you enjoy solving complex data challenges at scale and owning the stability of mission-critical systems, this is your chance to make a real impact.. What you’ll be working on: Manage core databases supporting matching engine, user assets, and order systems — covering daily operations, backups, restores, and high-availability configuration. Diagnose and optimize performance issues including slow queries, execution plans, and lock contention to ensure ultra-low latency and high throughput under peak loads. Design and implement high-availability and disaster recovery architectures — including replication, clustering, read-write separation, and multi-region synchronization. Contribute to database automation initiatives by developing or enhancing DBA tools to support CI/CD integration, automatic deployment, monitoring, and alert systems. Define and enforce data security and compliance standards covering access control, encryption, audit logging, and incident prevention. Partner closely with Backend and Trading Engineering teams to ensure cross-service data consistency and transactional integrity across order, asset, and settlement modules. Provide on-call support and rapid incident response to resolve production issues during high-volatility market events. Why work with us: Join us in realising our vision in advancing decentralisation, and leading innovation in CeFi. Enjoy work flexibility, a supportive team, and an environment that nurtures your ideas. Plus, expect a performance-based annual bonus for all contributors at WOO 💪 About you: Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science or a related field. Expert-level knowledge of MySQL; hands-on experience with TiDB, MongoDB, or other NoSQL/distributed databases is a plus. Proven experience designing and optimizing databases for large-scale systems (supporting tens of millions of users, billions of orders, and terabytes of data). Deep understanding of high-availability and replication mechanisms such as MGR, GTID replication, ProxySQL, Orchestrator, and sharding strategies. Strong scripting and tool development skills in Shell, Python, or Golang for automation and monitoring. Business-aware mindset with a sense of ownership — able to identify data-layer issues quickly and understand their business impact. Experience with on-call rotation and emergency incident response in production environments. Excellent communication skills in English and Mandarin; based in Mandarin-speaking regions (e.g., Taiwan or other Asia hubs).
