Debra Cerda <dcerda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> · Wed, 27 Mar 2019 11:21:59 -0500



    Command Prompt, Inc. is seeking an intermediate
          level Systems/PostgreSQL Administrator to join our 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:
    
      Knowledge of
          PostgreSQL administration.
      Understanding of
          how to set up, operate, and tune Postgres in elementary ways,
          such as installing from a package manager.
      Systems
          administration capability with shell scripts, as well as
          either Perl or Python.
      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. 
      Candidate
          residence is preferred to be United States or Europe.
      Confidence in your
          time and task management skills to work efficiently in a
          remote position.
      Participation on
          the on-call list rotation (afterhours/weekends).
    
    Preferred Qualifications:
    
      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 playbooks.
