Job Description:

This specific posting is for a software/infrastructure engineer with experience in installing, configuring, patching, upgrading, deploying and running Yugabyte databases .

The candidate will bring solid knowledge of DBMS concepts such as ACID, CAP and consistency

The ideal candidate will have experience with enterprise-scale Yugabyte or Postgres deployments, including intra- and inter-data-center high availability configurations, fault tolerance and failover, replication, cluster management, automated cluster provisioning, rolling upgrade techniques, backup & restoration techniques, security mechanisms, health monitoring and alerting techniques, and troubleshooting.
