Command Prompt, Inc. is seeking an intermediate level Systems/PostgreSQL 
Administrator to join our group of PostgreSQL systems experts! *
*

*Overview:*

We seek someone who has a deep knowledge of 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.

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

Command Prompt employees work remote from their home offices. The 
position requires minimal travel.

*Required Qualifications:*

  * Knowledge of PostgreSQL administration.
  * Understanding of how to set up, operate, and tune Postgres in
    elementary ways, such as installing from a package manager.
  * Systems administration capability with shell scripts, as well as
    either Perl or Python.
  * Understanding (or quick to pick up) technologies such as PgPool,
    LVM2, LXC, AWS and LVM2.
  * Interest in working on varied projects that use varied (and
    sometimes legacy) technologies.
  * Attention to detail, and able to troubleshoot -- problem solving
    through thinking for yourself yet receptive of peer review.
  * The successful candidate will be able to communicate effectively in
    English.
  * Candidate residence is preferred to be United States or Europe.
  * Confidence in your time and task management skills to work
    efficiently in a remote position.
  * Participation on the on-call list rotation (afterhours/weekends).

*Preferred Qualifications:*

  * Knowledge in Oracle, ideally with experience in Oracle to PostgreSQL
    migrations.
  * Experience supporting PostgreSQL in cloud environments including
    (but not limited to): AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Softlayer,
    etc.
  * Detailed understanding of the PostgreSQL Architecture and internals.
  * Understanding and working knowledge of various extensions in PostgreSQL.
  * Effective technical writing for documentation and playbooks.

*Our Company:*

Command Prompt, Inc. is the oldest and largest dedicated PostgreSQL 
support provider in North America. Since 1997, we have been developing, 
supporting, deploying and advocating the use of the World's Most 
Advanced Open Source Database. We are an Oregon corporation who enjoys 
the benefits of no outside investors, no debt, and being profitable, 
since our first day of business in 1997.*
*

*How to Apply:*

Applicants should send a resume to our Senior Project and Operations 
Manager Amanda Nystrom, amanda(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 andnotas a 
separate attachment.
