DBA position at CashNetUSA

[Decibel! <decibel(at)decibel(dot)org>]

I'll save everyone the standard HR-speak; descriptions are my opinion  
and mine alone. :)

We're looking for an administrator. There would be some development  
in the form of admin tools, etc.

CashNet is a company that's going through the start-up to "larger  
corporate entity" phase. The environment is very dynamic and laid  
back. We're working on improving our tools and processes to make our  
life easier, and reduce the need for late nights, etc. We're not  
perfect, but it's definitely not an environment where you'll find  
everyone burning the midnight oil (except for those who prefer to  
come in late and stay late).
