In this role you'll be providing consulting services to Command Prompt

Prompt is a long-term platinum sponsor of the PostgreSQL project. Our
geographically distributed team consists of engineers, system
administrators and marketing persons working together on common tasks
and communicating via email, jabber and, occasionally, Skype. We use
tickets/bug tracking to leave no tasks unfinished, keep our code in git
and strive to document everything. Being a small team, we wear many hats
and learn new technologies on the go.

If you think you'll be a good match for this position, please, email
your resume and cover letter to Angela Roberson (jobs(at)commandprompt(dot)com)
with the words 'database administrator' in the subject line. Please,
