Senior Systems/PostgreSQL Admin

Systems/PostgreSQL administrator:

Work from home for the only company still operating from the beginning
of it all! No Venture Captial, No Debt, No missed paychecks, No B.S.
Just honest, consulting and support for the PostgreSQL Centered Stack!

Command Prompt, Inc. is looking for an Intermediate systems/PostgreSQL
administrator.

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 who has a deep knowledge of at least one UNIX-like
system (preferably 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.

You must know 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 hacker or guru, but
if you are, that is a bonus.

You have systems administration capability with shell scripts, as well
as either Perl, Python or Ruby. As well as understanding (or quick to
pick up) technologies such as PgPool, LVM2, LXC, AWS and LVM2. C
development is a plus.

You have an interest in working on varied projects that use varied (and
sometimes legacy) technologies.

Command Prompt is a professional services company. You will be
interfacing with customers, therefore customer service and
professionalism is key.

Command Prompt employees work from their home offices. The position
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.
