PostgreSQL Opportunity Minutes Away from the Golden Gate Bridge - Mailing list pgsql-jobs

Hello Everyone,

I hope you’re all having a great day.  One of TEKsystems’ startup clients is seeking a PostgreSQL Database Engineer in beautiful Northern California.  This full-time opportunity is located just 10 minutes North of San Francisco via The Golden Gate Bridge.  This company has a very short line of hierarchy (this engineer would report directly to The COO).  In addition, this company offers a very competitive/lucrative salary and definitely has the look and feel of a startup atmosphere.  For those software professionals focused on advancing their careers, this company is on the cutting edge of technology and provides training on these technologies.  Scala and PostgreSQL are just a couple technologies that you will be exposed to.

Please read the details below.  If you feel you may be qualified for this position, please send me an email or call me on my direct line which is below.  I would be happy to tell you more about the environment and learn about your career goals.  

Best Regards,

Rich
