This allows us to help our customers see the big picture and identify opportunities to improve their overall database infrastructures.

What You’ll Do…

You will team with some of the most
- known database experts in the industry who are even better teammates, friends, and mentors. You’ll have the opportunity to hone your database skills and take your knowledge to the next level by facing the most complex problems within our group.

This is a senior role, requiring deep expertise and skill across several complex and challenging technical areas. You must be
- directed, with a high degree of attention to detail and critical thinking. You will have the opportunity to work with very large hardware on some of the most massive database deployments in the world, helping global Fortune 50 companies whose businesses depend on their databases.

Your main responsibility will be helping our customers’ DBA teams when they need expert assistance with high complexity problems. You’ll gather relevant data and investigate issues to provide a detailed analysis of your findings in a digestible format by email, instant message, or voice. For more serious and
- impacting issues, you will perform
- sharing sessions to help them quickly navigate and resolve issues.

When you’re not solving customer problems, you’ll be authoring new blog posts on interesting topics for our
- source community to digest, answering questions on our forum, creating new articles in our
- facing knowledge base, and more.

This is a remote role, so you can be located anywhere in the world provided you can work the targeted hours. All you need is a decent, stable internet connection.

What Have You Done:

• You have deep,
  - on, expert knowledge of Postgre
  SQL, including Postgre

• You are familiar with backup solutions and best practices including pg base backup, pg
  Back
  Rest and WAL-G, Point-in-Time-Recovery, etc.
• You are experienced with high availability solutions, including replication, routers, proxies, etc.
• You have demonstrable experience administering Linux systems
• You have experience with containerization and Kubernetes, including deployment, administration, and troubleshooting problems encountered when using Postgre
  SQL under that environment
• You are able to troubleshoot methodically, identifying and applying fixes for known errors, and when necessary, demonstrating a capacity to think outside of the box to resolve complex issues
• You are
  - taught,
  - directed, and enthusiastic about growing your skillset with new technologies as the industry evolves
• You are available to travel internationally for occasional team meetings, conferences, or customer visits
• You are fluent in communicating with customers in English, both in verbally and in writing
  
  

What Will Make You Stand Out:

• Software development experience, including specifically C, C++, and Go, in order to understand the internal workings of Postgre
  SQL, Percona’s Operator for Postgre
  SQL, and related technologies
• Advanced Linux troubleshooting tools (gdb, perf, strace, bpftrace, tcpdump, etc)
• Experience with Percona’s other core database products, including My
  SQL, Mongo
  DB, and Valkey/Redis
• Prior experience using Percona’s software, including PMM and our database distributions

• Indexing methods including Full-Text Indexing
• Experience with the foreign data wrappers of Postgre
  SQL (postgres_fdw, oracle_fdw, tde_fdw, file_fdw, etc. )
• Active desire to serve as a subject matter expert and mentoring resource within Percona Support on topics related to this position
• Kubernetes-related certifications and training
