I would review replication metrics and logs, inspect system and database load, compare node health, and reproduce the issue where possible. I would then isolate the bottleneck and validate a fix with failure and load tests. What PostgreSQL internal components are most relevant when building replication features? Key areas include WAL generation and processing, logical decoding, snapshots, catalogs, transaction visibility, background workers, and the extension and hook APIs. A safe implementation must preserve consistency, respect transactional semantics, and handle crash recovery and version compatibility. How do you approach conflict resolution in a multi-master database system? I begin by defining the consistency model and identifying which conflicts are possible for each workload. I then select deterministic resolution rules, such as ordering or application-defined policies, while ensuring that every node converges on the same outcome. I would also expose observability and operational controls so customers can understand and manage exceptional cases. How do you safely maintain fixes across multiple active release branches? I would keep changes focused, include regression tests, and identify the minimum compatible implementation for each branch. I would use disciplined Git workflows for review, cherry-picking, and backport tracking, while validating each backport in its target build and test environment. Clear release notes and risk assessment are important for production-impacting fixes. Describe how you would test a high-availability failover capability. I would create automated scenarios for node loss, network partitions, delayed replication, restart recovery, split-brain prevention, and rejoining nodes. The tests would verify data consistency, expected availability behavior, client-visible errors, and recovery time objectives. I would also run repeated fault-injection and performance tests to identify race conditions and resource-related failures. Opportunity details ## About this role.
