You will participate in an on-call rotation for after hours support, and provide technical leadership during problem determination. As a database administrator you will be expected to participate in or lead projects such as DBMS upgrades, DR test, Standardization, R&D, and Product Development.

 

You’re right for this job if you:

  • are experienced with supporting and deploying Microsoft SQL Server and/or Postgres environments.
