- Senior position with 5+ years of Experience supporting Postgres in an enterprise environment.
- Healthcare experience is not a must, but a plus. The one key thing I mention is we need the person to be an infrastructure DBA not a developer. Infrastructure DBA’s maintain the system, help optimize, ensure backups, DR processes, etc. They do not write any code like a developer.
- Knowledge of other database technologies would be a huge plus (MSSQL and MySQL).
- Supporting Postgres in an large scale environment 10+TB databases.
- Knowledge of management tools necessary to support and monitor the environment.
- Knowledge of how Postgres operates on Red Hat Linux to configure the system most effectively for performance.
- All should be 5+ years’ experience.
- Today I have six DBA positions that report to me. Some support MSSQL, some Oracle and some MySQL.
- I do not have anyone else that is able to support Postgres except this position we are looking to fill.
- They all work as team (team meetings, daily standups, etc.), but obviously their technologies are different and they tend to manage their own realm with my oversight.
