Hi  Michael,
Please see below inline response. I tried all this on Dev env 2 vCPU and 8 GB RAM. Still waiting for the PST environment :( with better configuration.

Great to hear.
 
However, it still consumes CPU. Setting parallel workers per gather to 0 did not help much.
You didn't answer all of my questions, particularly about disabling sequential scan. If you still have the default random_page_cost of 4, it might be that 1.5 allows better estimates for cost on index (random) vs sequential scan of a table. 

Please see the next inline answer. 

Laurenz is a brilliant guy. I would implement the indexes he suggests if you don't have them already and report back. If the indexes don't get used, try set enable_seqscan = false; before the query and if it is way faster, then reduce random_page_cost to maybe 1-2 depending how your overall cache hit ratio is across the system.

Query plan with enable_seqscan=off , Random page cost=1. With this execution time and cost of query is almost less than half compared to original settings. Also used the suggestions given by Laurenze. 1. Made use of UINON operator and created indexes.

Auto vacuuming is catching up just fine. No issues in that area.
If the time came down by half after 'vacuum full', I would question that statement.

I checked the last autovacuum on underlying tables before load tests and it was very recent. Also I explicitly ran VACUUM ANALYZE FREEZ on underlying tables before load test just to make sure. It did not help much.
 
Temp table size is less that original tables without indexes.
Significantly less would indicate the regular table still being bloated I think. Maybe someone else will suggest otherwise.

Please see below.

 SELECT
relname AS TableName
,n_live_tup AS LiveTuples
,n_dead_tup AS DeadTuples
FROM pg_stat_user_tables where relname='job';
 tablename | livetuples | deadtuples
-----------+------------+------------
 job       |    2754980 |        168
 
 
Does this mean we need to upgrade the hardware? Also by caching data , do you mean caching at application side(microservices side) ? Or on postgres side? I tried pg_prewarm, it did not help much.
I can't say about hardware. Until you have exhausted options like configs and indexing, spending more money forever onwards seems premature. I meant pre-aggregated data, wherever it makes sense to do that. I wouldn't expect pg_prewarm to do a ton since you already show high cache hits.

Understood thanks. 
 
It is actually the CPU consumption which is the issue. Query is fast otherwise.
Sure, but that is a symptom of reading and processing a lot of data.

As per application team, it is business requirement to show last 60 days worth data. This particular query finds the counts of jobstatus(GROUP BY) which may be taking a lot of compute(CPU spikes) I have tried indexing suggested by Laurenze as well. Cost and execution time are still high
