Lots of people on my friends list appear to be looking for jobs. Here's the next one, as promised, one position per post for easier linkage.
Feel free to send resumes to me. My Livejournal name at livejournal works great. I can happily pass them along. My company is small - 17 people right now - and we have NO red tape at all!
The environment:
We are a small startup with a generally youngish engineering team. It is a no-foolin' startup job, with some long days and occasional sudden changes of direction, but people really pull together, and when you get something done well you WILL be thanked. That last is rare in this industry.
Also, this is the only company in my twenty-year career that has ever handed me a margarita at my job interview.
We're located in Sunnyvale.
I cut-and-pasted the rest of this right out of our internal wiki.
Database Administrator
Skills
# Expertise in at least one of the following – Ruby, Perl, Python (and be prepared to write code during the interview)
# Strong linux experience
# Comfortable working with SQL
# Demonstrated experience designing and implementing distributed systems a plus
# Previous experience in startup environment
# You know Linux. Not you have used a Unix machine back in school and can spell ls on the second try. You will need to know Linux as a server OS and be quite comfortable with its intricacies.
# You should have solid understanding of at least one application stack under Linux.
# Extensive industry experience on the server side of a multi-tiered or multi-layer web based application.
# Solid knowledge of at least one dynamically typed language or expert level in two unrelated languages. In other words you need to be a killer programmer. Our server architecture is primarily running Ruby, however the ability to work with many different languages and layers of integration will serve you well here.
# Understanding of basic database concepts.
Qualifications:
# Ability to design and implement complex algorithms and data structures
# Ability to work in a coordinated fashion with other teams.
# Excellent communication skills
# Excellent programming skills
# Excellent knowledge of at least one dynamically typed language or Expert level in two unrelated programming languages
# Industry experience with at least one web based application
# Knowledge of basic database concepts
# Understanding of distributed application engineering
