RavenPack is looking for a DBA to join our Development Team. We are offering you a transition from the traditional DBA to Cloud DBA.
Join RavenPack and help us manage knowledge extracted from hundreds of thousands of documents each day, all in real-time. You will load large datasets, design and maintain schemas, and help to optimize queries to maintain our 99.99% uptime across a multi-terabyte system.
As a DBA, you will report directly to the Database Manager and work with an international team of developers skilled in SQL, Python, Java, Common Lisp, and Cloud technologies to ensure that all goals are accomplished in a cost-effective manner.
You will manage vast amounts of data. Your main responsibility will be applying the best practices to ensure that the organization’s databases are operational, reliable, easily accessible, scalable, and secure. You will research, design, and implement different technologies and processes to achieve that purpose. You will make the data consistent by creating data backups and troubleshooting any issues that may arise.
The ability to communicate effectively in English both in writing and verbally is a must. Knowledge of Spanish is not a business requirement. European Union’s legal working status is required.
