  • Tenacity with regard to customer communication & follow-up
  • Comfortable working remotely (equipment provided)

  • Experience with some sort of columnar database platform

  • Prior MariaDB, Percona, or MySQL support engineer experience
  • Previous experience working remotely
  • Proficient in one or more scripting languages (Bash, Python, Go, etc.)
  • Sysadmin experience (Linux, Windows, etc.)
  • Working knowledge of other database systems (Oracle, MS SQL Server, Postgres, RDS/Aurora, MongoDB, etc.)
  • Contributions to open source software in the MariaDB/MySQL ecosystem
  • Experience with other MariaDB products such as MaxScale, ColumnStore, Cluster/Galera, Clustrix, etc.
  • Proficient with virtualization software (Xen, VirtualBox, VMware, etc.)
