Thread: Postgres & SQL Server DBA Needed Urgently

Hello folks,

A growing web to consumer company in the west Boston suburbs needs a Postgres & SQL Server DBA urgently.  The right candidate will have skill & experience including SQL, logical data model, physical schema layout and performance, stars, snowflakes, cubes, at least one OO language (Java or C++ preferred).  Previous experience as a developer is highly desired but not necessary.

Detailed requirements à

1. Systems DBA focus on the physical aspects of database administration such as DBMS installation, configuration, patching, upgrades, backups, restores, refreshes, performance optimization, maintenance and disaster recovery.
2. Development DBA focus with the LAMP stack, triggers, stored procedures, Linux scripting, Perl is may be nice, custom ETL, OLTP, OLAP, DSS, dirty reads, locking, striping, data distribution, primary, 2^nd & hash key management, data size (GB vs. TB) considerations, speed/performance is essential.

PostgreSQL  and/or SQL Server required, Oracle experience very relevant but alone won’t do it, a progressive history with Informix, DB2 or Sybase highly desired.

Please call me, Domenic
