   - Enjoy providing support and advice for developers writing
applications
   that access the databases?
   - Have a strong DBA foundation and ready to develop your experience
on
   Postgres?
   - Want to build and manage solutions that provide infrastructure for

content
   with knowing it does work?

Team members of Rentrak's Infrastructure Systems Group design and
support
mission-critical high-up-time systems running a complex application
stack
for each business vertical. Our work group functions as a highly
collaborative cross-trained unit. While your primary focus will be on
Database management using Postgres, you will also get to cultivate and
apply skills ranging from system configuration management to software
development.

As administrators of the central technical infrastructure for the
company,
we place a strong emphasis on providing excellent customer service to a
broadly defined range of customers, including our internal users,
developers, operators, business managers, and external clients. If you
are
looking to be an invisible cog in the machine, look elsewhere; if you
are
ready to make a difference to your coworkers and earn your daily thanks,
come join us!

turf-guarding,
   rejoice that you are not expected to know everything, and get
straight

   - Great common sense, can laugh and cry with team.


Responsibilities:

   - Care and feeding of database systems, primarily Postgres, some
Oracle
   and SQL Server.
