Job description
Responsibilities
Role Summary: Bambu Lab is seeking a skilled and detail-oriented Database Administrator (DBA / DBRE) to join our US branch. In this role, you will be responsible for the day-to-day operations, monitoring, and reliability of our cloud and local database environments. You will drive engineering solutions to ensure system stability, performance, and compliance with data privacy regulations.
Responsibilities
- Cloud Operations: Own day-to-day operations, monitoring, and reliability of cloud databases (AWS RDS / Aurora, GCP Cloud SQL, etc.) and local databases (MySQL / PostgreSQL / Redis / SQL Server, etc.).
- Reliability Engineering (DBRE): Define and measure database SLOs, strengthen monitoring/alerting, and manage database resources using IaC (Terraform) with an emphasis on elasticity and stability.
- Backup & DR: Define and execute backup strategies and regular recovery drills to ensure data reliability and business continuity (RPO / RTO).
- Performance Optimization: Conduct SQL review, slow-query optimization, index planning, and parameter tuning.
- High Availability: Maintain highly available database architectures through replication, clustering, and failover management.
- Data Security & Compliance: Implement RBAC, auditing, encryption, and masking; ensure all data-layer security policies are strictly followed.
- Collaboration: Coordinate with local development, SRE, and security teams to drive database automation.
Qualifications
- Education & Experience: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field is preferred; however, equivalent professional work experience will be fully considered in lieu of a formal degree. 3+ years of DBA / DBRE experience is required.
- Technical Proficiency: Strong expertise in MySQL or PostgreSQL. Experience with Redis, SQL Server, or Oracle is a plus.
- Cloud Expertise: Proficient with AWS (RDS / Aurora) or GCP (Cloud SQL); experience with elastic scaling and HA configurations.
- Automation: Proficient in using IaC (Terraform) and scripting (Python / Shell) to automate database tasks.
- Observability: Hands-on experience with monitoring tools.
- Language & Soft Skills: Working proficiency in English for cross-team collaboration. Strong root-cause analysis and postmortem skills.
- Work Authorization: Must be legally authorized to work in the United States. We welcome all applicants legally authorized to work in the United States regardless of immigration status. The company is eligible and willing to sponsor H-1B work visas for qualified international candidates, including H-1B transfer applications.
【Equal Employment Opportunity Statement】
We are an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer committed to compliance with all federal, state, and local anti-discrimination laws, including California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA).

Visa sponsorship record
No public sponsorship records foundWe didn't find H-1B, H-1B1, E-3 or green card (PERM) filings under the name HappyGlobal Service in the Department of Labor and USCIS data. That doesn't mean the job can't be sponsored — the company may file under a different legal name, be new to sponsorship, or sponsor a visa that isn't in these datasets (for example H-2B or J-1).
Tip: ask the recruiter early, in writing, which visa they sponsor and whether they cover the legal and filing fees.
Which visas can work for this job
Occupation: Database Administrators (SOC 15-1242) — estimated from the job title.
- Mentioned in the listing
H-1B
- H-1B cap-exempt employer
Regular cap-subject employer — a new H-1B needs to win the lottery in March (unless you already hold cap-counted H-1B status).
- TN (citizens of Canada and Mexico)
This kind of role may fit the USMCA profession “Computer Systems Analyst” — it depends on the actual duties. No lottery, no cap; you need the matching degree or license.
- E-3 (Australia) and H-1B1 (Chile, Singapore)
Same degree requirement as H-1B, but no lottery and a separate quota that is rarely filled.
- O-1 (extraordinary ability)
For candidates with awards, publications, press, a high salary or critical roles at distinguished organizations. No cap, no lottery; the employer files a petition.
- STEM OPT extension (F-1 students)
Requires an E-Verify employer. We didn't find this company in the E-Verify list — ask HR.
Salary vs prevailing wage
Database Administrators · San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA. Annual prevailing wages set by the Department of Labor (OFLC).
| Level | Prevailing wage | H-1B lottery odds* |
|---|---|---|
| Level I | $90,106 | ~15% |
| Level II | $117,499 | ~31% |
| Level III | $144,872 | ~46% |
| Level IV | $172,266 | ~61% |
The listing has no salary, so we can't place it on a wage level. Ask the employer which wage level they'd file at: Level III–IV registrations get 3–4 entries in the H-1B lottery.
* Odds are DHS projections for the FY2027 wage-weighted lottery (actual results vary by year and employer). Since the FY2027 cap season the H-1B lottery is weighted by wage level: Level I = 1 entry, II = 2, III = 3, IV = 4. The level is set by the offered wage against the prevailing wage for the occupation and worksite. Separately, a $100,000 fee for new H-1B petitions for workers outside the US was announced in 2025; as of September 2026 a federal court ruling keeps it unenforceable while appeals continue — check the current status.
