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.
We seek someone with the following skills:
- Deep knowledge of at least one UNIX-like system
- Knows how to manage heterogeneous systems
- Strong skills in basic systems administration
- 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 the main
page, 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
perfectly-integrated and easily-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.
- Know basic PostgreSQL administration, and understand how to
set up, operate, and tune Postgres in elementary ways, such as
installing from a package manager. *You do not have to be a
PostgreSQL guru, but if you are, that is a bonus.
- You have systems administration capability with shell
scripts, as well as either Perl or Python. As well as
understanding (or quick to pick up) technologies such as DRBD
and LVM2.
- An interest in working on varied projects that use varied
(and sometimes legacy) technologies.
- Experience with Ruby on Rails web framework is a plus.
Command Prompt is a professional services company. You will be
interfacing with customers, therefore customer service and
professionalism is key.
Command Prompt employees usually work from their home offices. The
position normally requires minimal travel. For this position, the
successful candidate will be able to communicate effectively in
English. English as a spoken second language is fine as long as
the written skills are clear and effective.
This is a remote position and does not require residence in the
United States.
Applicants should send a resume to Angela Roberson,
angela(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.
