Immediate opening for Postgres DBA

My company (Instructure) is looking to grow its DBA team. We've been making=
 waves in the education SaaS industry for almost a decade, and like to thin=
k that we're leading the fight against iffy, mothbally, and otherwise shodd=
y software that gets in the way of learning. People love us and we're growi=
ng fast. Our future is bright, but we need more than shades to get there. T=
hat's where you come in.

We need somebody who can:

- Be part of an on-call team
- Have the knowledge to know how to respond to database problems at 3am
- Be able to automate processes so that there aren't database problems at 3=
am
- Be a point of contact for questions about databases, both from technical =
engineers and less technical members of the company
- Be on top of problems before they become problems

The ideal candidate will have a strong working knowledge with:

- Linux
- Amazon Web Services
- Postgres
- pgBouncer, or some other form of database pooling
- Ansible, or some other form of config management
- Datadog, or some other from of resource monitoring and alerting
- Automation
- Performance turning
- No fear of learning The New Hotness, and no inclination to throw the baby=
 out with the bath water

Some of what we offer, besides your efforts going towards helping people le=
arn more efficiently, and being paid competitively to work on technologies =
you love with the tools of your choice, is:

- A relaxed work environment. We care about our employees, not how they dre=
ss.
- An open, collaborative work environment. If you see something you disagre=
e with, rock the boat. Challenging ourselves makes us stronger.
- Paid time off. A burned out employee helps nobody.
- 100% employer-paid benefits for you and your qualified dependents
- Stocked kitchens and catered lunches


At this time, we are only looking to hire US citizens or green card holders=
 working on US soil. Working from home is absolutely an option for the righ=
t candidate, but if you prefer office life, we have offices in Chicago, Sal=
t Lake City, and Seattle, and are happy to offer relocation assistance.

If this sounds good to you, please send me your resume and let's talk!
