## About the Role

* Four or more years administering production databases
 * Deep SQL Server experience: backup strategies, Always On availability groups, and performance tuning in real production conditions
 * Working PostgreSQL experience, including replication and maintenance operations
 * PowerShell or Python scripting for automation; we'd rather you build the repetitive task than do it monthly by hand
 * A disciplined approach to documentation and change communication
 * Reliable transportation for occasional local client visits

What strengthens an application

 * AWS or Azure database certifications
 * Experience in PCI-DSS or HIPAA-regulated environments
 * Familiarity with monitoring platforms we may already have deployed, such as Datadog or Zabbix
 * Exposure to MongoDB or DynamoDB
 * Prior MSP or multi-tenant experience

## Description

* Administering SQL Server and PostgreSQL instances hosted both on client premises and in cloud platforms (AWS RDS, Azure SQL)
 * Chasing down performance problems at the query and index level, reading execution plans, fixing statistics, rewriting the worst offenders where we have permission
 * Running backup and recovery programs end to end, including scheduled restore tests, not just verified backup jobs
 * Handling patching and version upgrades on maintenance windows we schedule and communicate in advance
 * Reviewing schemas and data models proposed by application vendors and our own engineering staff
 * Investigating alerts from monitoring tools before they become client-visible outages
 * Documenting every environment we manage well enough that another engineer could pick it up mid-incident
 * Occasionally driving to a client's office in the valley for work that genuinely can't be done remotely
