INTERMEDIATE SYSTEMS/POSTGRESQL ADMINISTRATOR.
Command Prompt has provided PostgreSQL support, development, and hosting
since 1997. We are looking for another person to join our stellar 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:

- U.S. Citizen or Legal Permanent Resident
- Knowledge of PostgreSQL administration.
- Understand how to set up, operate, and tune Postgres in elementary
ways, such as installing from a package manager.
- Have systems administration capability with shell scripts, as well as
either Perl or Python.
- Have an 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.
- Confident in your time and task management skills to work efficiently
in a remote position.
- Participation on the on-call list rotation (after hours/weekends).

*Preferred Qualifications:*

- Kubernetes
- 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 Ansible playbooks.

Applicants should send a resume to Amanda Nystrom,
amanda(at)commandprompt(dot)com, with the words "intermediate
administrator" in the Subject line. Please include any text by way of a
cover letter in the body of your email and not as a separate attachment.
