Database Administrator Internship — Always Hiring

Database Administrator Internship in Delhi at CryptoMize

Apply now for the Database Administrator Internship in Delhi at CryptoMize — a 6-month certified program on a rolling, always-hiring intake. Database Administrator interns here do not babysit a test database: from the first month you work on the PostgreSQL infrastructure behind our intelligence platforms — the electoral corpora, sentiment archives, and OSINT stores that serve engagements across 18 countries — under the standards our 99.9999%-uptime reputation is built on. You will learn backup and recovery on systems where data loss is not an inconvenience, and security hardening on databases that hold client-adjacent intelligence. If you want your DBA foundation laid where availability and confidentiality are the product, this is the description, the skills, the eligibility, and the selection process, in full.

01The actual work

What will you actually do as a Database Administrator at CryptoMize?

Support the PostgreSQL infrastructure behind our intelligence platforms — the stores our analysts and strategists query every day

Learn and execute backup, recovery, and restoration drills to the standard a 99.9999%-uptime operation demands

Monitor performance and manage parameters — indexes, query plans, capacity — on live corpora under senior DBA supervision

Implement access control and security hardening: role management, least-privilege grants, and audit logging on sensitive stores

Support database design reviews for new engagement data — schema suggestions reviewed by senior DBAs before anything ships

Document everything: runbooks, recovery procedures, and the incident notes that make outages teachable instead of repeatable

Sit the change-review rotation: every schema or configuration change on the estate is reviewed before it ships, and interns join that review from month two

Learn the analysts' perspective: the queries you optimize serve the forecasting record the company quotes — meet the people behind the workloads

Rotate through access-control administration: role requests, grants review, and the audit trail every grant leaves behind
