Sr. Postgres DBA/Database Engineer

nuBridges is an early stage company created to develop technology and
processes which will enable eBusiness connections between companies and
their business partners more quickly and at substantially less cost than
with current approaches. We seek to provide the next generation of tools
for eBusiness connectivity, and to make their use in the marketplace
pervasive. We are looking for a talented Postgres DBA or database
engineer who can help us maintain and improve our existing Postgres
infrastructure and help us scale and optimize our eBusiness software
platform. Working in an agile, fast-moving startup environment, the
selected hire will update and improve our existing database architecture
while guiding the architecture towards its next generation, including
replication, clustering, optimization and high availability. These
responsibilities span architecture, development, QA and ongoing
operations. This is a great opportunity for someone who knows how to
operate as a DBA, but is eager for additional challenges and
opportunities. Salary will vary with experience, from $70k -
$85k/year, with excellent benefits and stock options. Will consider both
permanent and contract-to-hire.

business information are extremely important to us. As such we will
conduct drug tests and background checks as conditions of employment.
