Hi all,

Brandwatch is hiring for a Senior PostgreSQL DBA to work in 
Brighton-based Data Infrastructure team.

At Brandwatch we deal with relatively large amounts of data (>80TB in 
Postgres alone), and as a team we make sure that all of our core data 
platforms (Postgres, Solr, HBase, Kafka) are performant, reliable and 
available 24x7.

As our PostgreSQL specialist you will work closely with our Senior SQL 
Developer and the rest of the development and infrastructure teams to 
drive improvements and address issues.  You must be familiar with 
operating large databases with many connections, shards and rows, and be 
comfortable with techniques for high availability and disaster recovery 
in this sort of environment.

You’ll be an intrinsic part in helping us continue to build and evolve 
the best social data analytics platform on the planet, so someone who 
relishes a challenge is a must. We are very proud of Brandwatch's 
culture, of the ability and openness of the people we get to work with.

*Your role will include:*

  * Actively identifying and predicting scalability and performance
    issues, and suggesting plans to addressing them
  * Proactively monitoring all aspects of the infrastructure and
    database health to maintain uptime and performance, including, where
    necessary, the development of new tooling
  * Maintaining a constant capability for disaster recovery and data
    restore with regular testing
  * Automation of standard tasks, including migration from our existing
    puppet-based provisioning to Kubernetes
  * Working with the development teams to identify their needs and allow
    them to deliver excellent services
  * Participating in the cross-functional support rota for our data
    stores, including Solr, HBase and Kafka
  * Tracking new developments in the PostgreSQL ecosystem and driving
    advances in our infrastructure

*You should have:*

  * Strong production experience as a Database Administrator. Prior
    experience of PostgreSQL is essential
  * Prior knowledge of SQL and the procedural languages (PL/pgSQL or PL/SQL)
  * Knowledge of query tuning, both as a general methodology and ideally
    with regards to PostgreSQL running on modern Linux systems
  * Knowledge of Linux system administration and tuning
  * A passion for the field and of learning more
  * Attention to detail and an analytic approach to your work

*It would be great if you also have:*

  * Experience of PostgreSQL in a multi-terabyte data set environment
  * Experience as Java, C/C++ or Python developer
  * Experience with Puppet, Ansible or Kubernetes
  * Experience with utilising Hadoop, HBase, Solr or Kafka or similar
    technologies

*What we offer:*

*Benefits:* We offer a range of benefits including; bike to work scheme, 
pension contribution, childcare vouchers and discounted gym memberships.

*Culture:*  Brandwatch is a place where the lines between work and fun 
are blurred. As a growing international company, with 7 offices across 
the globe, communication is key to ensure everyone’s voices are heard, 
and helps us maintain our flat structure. We listen and learn. We 
develop our staff. We care about everything, and above all we support 
each other.

*Working for Brandwatch:* Brandwatch Brighton is where it all began. We 
can be found in the vibrant North Laine in our brand new refurbished 
offices. Whilst we don’t believe in stereotypes, we do host yoga classes 
and Juice Mondays. We have cupboards bursting with snacks, a well 
stocked drinks fridge, sushi lunches, flexible working spaces and if 
you’re lucky we’ll even treat you to an ice-cream on the beach and you 
can enjoy one of our weekly massages right from the office.

/To all recruitment agencies: Brandwatch does not accept agency resumes. 
Please do not forward resumes to our jobs alias or Brandwatch employees. 
Brandwatch is not responsible for any fees related to unsolicited resumes./
