Jeff Frost
Staff Database Reliability Engineer
Austin, Texas, United States
Summary
🤩
RockstarJeff Frost is a Staff Database Reliability Engineer in Austin, Texas with 14 years of hands-on experience building and operating resilient data platforms. He has led infrastructure and database strategy at scale—shaping data architecture, governance, and migrations—from VP engineering roles at Procore to consulting and founding PostgreSQL-focused firms. His work spans cloud automation (Terraform, Ansible), multi-cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), and complex projects like Oracle-to-Postgres migrations, disaster recovery, and spot-instance automation for heavy reporting workloads. Jeff combines executive leadership with deep technical practice, having both managed teams and directly implemented migrations, performance tuning, and large provider-to-cloud moves. He’s comfortable bridging long-term data strategy and day-to-day reliability engineering, often turning high-risk transitions into repeatable, automated processes. Based on a career that predates many modern cloud patterns, he brings institutional knowledge of both legacy datacenter operations and modern cloud-native practices.
