I’m looking for a good DBA, preferably with strong Postgresql, but solid experience in other RDBMS and desire to learn Postgresql may be a good substitute.
The position is a production Sr DBA with operational as well as development responsibilities. Strong skills in AWS are desirable.
Below is the job description. Please note that it is not a purely Postgres position. We also use Redshift, DynamoDB, and very little MySQL.
We are looking for somebody authorized to work in the USA.
If interested, please respond directly to my e-mail.

Thank you
