Are you sure this isn't just spam? I received recruitment spam about a
Postgres DBA job in Berlin today. Some recruiter sent this to my
personal e-mail address, and I marked it as spam.

I classify it as spam because had the recruiter taken 2 seconds to
consider what he was doing, he would not have sent it. Clearly getting
me to move from San Francisco to Berlin to go from hacking on Postgres
to being an ordinary DBA is an impossibly hard sell. And so, I'm sure
that everyone with an e-mail address on the contributors pages
received a similar e-mail.
