Systems/PostgreSQL Administrator (U.S. or EU - Remote)

Command Prompt, Inc. is seeking an intermediate level Systems/PostgreSQL
Administrator to join our group of PostgreSQL systems experts! *
*

*Overview:*

We seek someone who has a deep knowledge of Linux, and who knows how to
manage heterogeneous systems. You can demonstrate strong skills in
systems administration. You have a clear understanding of how to
administer several systems that are mostly the same, but that have small
local differences. If you do not feel comfortable saying, "I'm not
familiar with that in your environment," then reading documentation, and
coming back with a test plan for deployment that will reveal problems
with your strategy, this is not a job for you.

The ability to imagine, propose, test, and deliver integrated and
maintained solutions to users' problems is the key to success in this
position. You work well in a team: you don't have to work 24 hours a
day, because other people can always log into any system you maintain
and know where everything is, how it got there, and how to add new
things if they're needed.

Command Prompt is a professional services company. You will be
interfacing with customers, therefore customer service and
professionalism is key.

Command Prompt employees work remote from their home offices. The
position requires minimal travel.

*Required Qualifications:*

* Knowledge of PostgreSQL administration.
* Understanding of how to set up, operate, and tune Postgres in
elementary ways, such as installing from a package manager.
* Systems administration capability with shell scripts, as well as
either Perl or Python.
* Understanding (or quick to pick up) technologies such as PgPool,
LVM2, LXC, AWS and LVM2.
* Interest in working on varied projects that use varied (and
sometimes legacy) technologies.
* Attention to detail, and able to troubleshoot -- problem solving
through thinking for yourself yet receptive of peer review.
* The successful candidate will be able to communicate effectively in
English.
* Candidate residence is preferred to be United States or Europe.
* Confidence in your time and task management skills to work
efficiently in a remote position.
* Participation on the on-call list rotation (afterhours/weekends).

*Preferred Qualifications:*

* Knowledge in Oracle, ideally with experience in Oracle to PostgreSQL
migrations.
* Experience supporting PostgreSQL in cloud environments including
(but not limited to): AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Softlayer,
etc.
* Detailed understanding of the PostgreSQL Architecture and internals.
* Understanding and working knowledge of various extensions in PostgreSQL.
* Effective technical writing for documentation and playbooks.
