Systems DB/Administrator

Command Prompt, Inc. is looking for an intermediate systems 
administrator and junior 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 with the following skills:

  *   Deep knowledge of at least one UNIX-like system
  * Knows how to manage heterogeneous systems
  * Strong skills in basic systems administration
  * 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 the main page, 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
    perfectly-integrated and easily-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.
  * Know basic 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 guru,
    but if you are, that is a bonus.
  * You have systems administration capability with shell scripts, as
    well as either Perl or Python. As well as understanding (or quick to
    pick up) technologies such as DRBD and LVM2.
  * An interest in working on varied projects that use varied (and
    sometimes legacy) technologies.
  * Experience with Ruby on Rails web framework is a plus.

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

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

Applicants should send a resume to Angela Roberson, 
angela(at)commandprompt(dot)com, with the words "intermediate 
administrator" in the Subject line. Please include any text by way of a 
cover letter in the body of your email and not as a separate attachment.
