Senior Application DBA @ AWeber

Hi All,

At AWeber, we're looking for a Senior Application DBA. Here's a bit about
us and the job:

We’re AWeber - a remote-first company that helps small businesses grow
through the use of our marketing communication software. We are fanatical
about small businesses and we hope you are too!

As our Senior Application DBA, you will own and optimize our 50+ TB data
environment, guaranteeing consistent taxonomy of our data at rest, in use,
and in motion, all aiming to create reliable and remarkable experiences for
our customers. You will need to be proactive and take ownership of our data
environment, using your vast knowledge of database infrastructure to
implement, document, and enforce data best practices across the Engineering
department.

On any given day, you might find yourself planning a long term strategy for
optimizing and enhancing our varied data environment consisting of
Postgres, DynamoDB, MongoDB, etc or you could be in the weeds, tactically
executing on projects such as developing/optimizing schema, queries, stored
procedures, or ETL pipelines. You’ll frequently collaborate with our
software engineers to define schema enhancements and create a consistent
structure by which they store and access data - holding them accountable to
using documented best practices. You could also be busy troubleshooting a
data lake issue - understanding how our various in-house and proprietary
systems work to identify the root cause.

To thrive as our Sr. Application DBA, you must be passionate about all
things data whether you frequent meetups, attend Postgres conferences, or
get lost in database blogs and subreddits. You have an unquenchable thirst
for learning, staying up to date on bleeding-edge database practices and
technologies. You’re not afraid to jump in and write code or tooling to
help make your job easier. You realize to be a strong DBA means you should
be knowledgeable of the full application lifecycle, understanding (at a
high level) application development, configuration management, etc and how
they interact with our data infrastructure. You have strong opinions,
founded on years of research and experience, which you aren’t afraid to
share. You see code review and interacting with others as mentorship
opportunities while being open to learning from others. Finally, you’re
excited about the prospect of working with a large data set using disparate
technologies and the many challenges and opportunities that brings.

While it is a remote position, this role is open to US residents only.
