Job Description:

We are seeking an experienced PostgreSQL Database Administrator to support application development teams in a heavily on-prem, command-line–driven environment. This role is hands-on and operations-focused, with a strong emphasis on ticket-based support, PostgreSQL administration, and major version upgrades from PostgreSQL 9 to PostgreSQL 16.

  • Manage and resolve incoming tickets related to PostgreSQL environments
  • Perform major PostgreSQL upgrades (PostgreSQL 9 → 16), including planning, execution, and validation
  • Administer PostgreSQL databases in on-prem environments using the command line
  • Handle all core DBA responsibilities: Backups and restores, Performance tuning and query optimization, Vacuuming and routine maintenance, Patching and upgrades, Migrations and data movement
  • Write, review, and troubleshoot SQL, DDL, and DML
  • Communicate clearly with stakeholders and close the loop on tickets and requests
  • Work independently once requirements and instructions are provided

Requirements:

  • Strong experience administering PostgreSQL in on-prem environments
  • Deep understanding of PostgreSQL internals and operational best practices
  • Hands-on experience with backups and restores, performance tuning, vacuuming and maintenance, upgrades and migrations
  • Strong ability to write and interpret SQL, including DDL and DML
  • Comfortable working in a Linux command-line environment
  • Professional, reliable, and responsive
  • Follows instructions
  • Works independently
  • Communicates clearly and closes tickets effectively

Nice to have:

  • Experience with YAML and/or Puppet
  • Shell or Bash scripting experience
  • Prior experience upgrading PostgreSQL from older major versions to current releases
  • Exposure to cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP
