Role : Postgresql Database engineer with Yugabyte
Location: Phoenix, Arizona (Onsite)
Duration: Contract
Job Description:
This specific posting is for a software/infrastructure engineer with experience in installing, configuring, patching, upgrading, deploying and running Yugabyte databases. The candidate will put these skills to use by evaluating and preparing new and upgraded Yugabyte and Postgres-compatible offerings for use across the company, and by documenting, presenting and explaining the appropriate techniques, patterns and best practices for our hosting, database administration and operational support teams.
The candidate will bring solid knowledge of DBMS concepts such as ACID, CAP and consistency
The ideal candidate will have experience with enterprise-scale Yugabyte or Postgres deployments, including intra- and inter-data-center high availability configurations, fault tolerance and failover, replication, cluster management, automated cluster provisioning, rolling upgrade techniques, backup & restoration techniques, security mechanisms, health monitoring and alerting techniques, and troubleshooting.
Ideally the candidate will also bring knowledge of Yugabyte internals such as sharding and replication settings, and performance tuning.
We recognize that Yugabyte is a relatively new database technology, and that there may not be many candidates with extensive knowledge of Yugabyte. We’re happy to train on the job, presuming the candidate has similar knowledge of other databases such as Google Spanner, Cassandra, Postgres and/or Oracle, for candidates that are interested in becoming Yugabyte experts.
Additional desirable attributes
· Skill at the Unix command line
· The ability to write code or script, e.g. for test harnesses or other database-related tools and utilities
· Experience as a database administrator and/or a Unix system administrator
· Knowledge of virtualization and cloud infrastructures, and of implementations such as VMWare, OpenShift, Kubernetes and Docker
· Knowledge of AWS, Google Cloud, Azure or other public cloud offerings
· Knowledge of modern storage and compute technologies, including hyper-converged infrastructures
