We are a consulting firm that offers remote PostgreSQL administration services. We are looking for a seasoned PostgreSQL DBA specialist for a remote full-time position.

Who will you be working with?

Some clients have their own DBA teams, with whom you will be working and some don’t – in this case you will be working with client’s developers and technical managers. In either case you will be surrounded by best in class Data Egret PostgreSQL DBA, who have many years of experience servicing our clients.

What skills will you gain?

As well as harnessing your technical skills you will grow as a technical support specialist, who is able to listen to our clients, ask questions, review possible solutions with them, and be a reliable partner, who will add value beyond customer expectations.

What will your job be?

You will be the focal point to our clients when it comes to databases – figuring out why things don’t work the way they should, providing guidance and fixes to ensure that our client’s high availability projects go like clockwork.

Here are a few examples of your day-to-day technical tasks:

Make changes in database’s schema under load
Perform slow query analysis and optimisation
Correctly create/adjust indexes for query optimisation
Set up and configure Postgres on new servers
Setup Postgres database replication
Perform failover/switchover
Set up backup process and perform recovery
Perform minor and major upgrades
Architectural consulting
Database health check

What do we expect from you?

You are a seasoned DBA with 2 or more years of experience in administering high availability PostgreSQL projects (including replication configuration, performance tuning, monitoring configuration etc.)
Have experience in optimising complex SQL queries
Enjoy working independently on vague client briefs
You are a confident Linux user and know how to administer it (Ubuntu/Debian/RedHat),
Have a general understanding of database theory
Have basic knowledge of shell scripting (writing a couple of screens-lengthy script that will be understandable to other admins and yourself a few month down the line)
You can write a complex (and very complex) SQL query
You are a keen learner and eager to discover new solutions to old problems

This is a client facing role and the ability to communicate your actions and be able to reason with clients is imperative.

What skills would be a plus?

Familiarity with Patroni
Familiarity with some DevOps tools such as Ansible/Docker/Kubernetes
C programming skills and experience in analysing with perf/strace/gdb
Administration experience with cloud platforms
Basic knowledge of Russian language would be a plus

Why choose Data Egret as your place of work?

You will become part of one of the leading PostgreSQL DBA teams working in a company that has been named a significant sponsor to PostgreSQL by the Postgres community.
Will be able to brush up your database administration skills on a multitude of databases in different environments and gain experience that would take you years to get working in-house.

What do we offer?

A competitive pay based on your experience and annual performance-based bonus scheme
Full-remote working, offering you the opportunity to actually have a life 🙂
Flexible working hours
An opportunity to work alongside colleagues DBA, who live and breathe Postgres and contribute to its development
Support of your participation in community conferences
Collaborative and open environment where you are supported by your colleagues and can learn and thrive
