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.

Points awarded to applicants that participate in Open Source communities.

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.
