<a href="
OwnLocal provides online marketing tools to small businesses through our partners. We work with some of the biggest media companies in the world to provide our tools to their customers.
TL;DR: MySQL, PostreSQL, ElasticSearch, AWS RDS, schema design, DB optimization. We treat employees like humans and pay market rates. Think of this as the DBA equivalent of a full stack web developer. Full-time, local only.
Our web apps are Ruby on Rails on MySQL with a little Postgres. We've built a big API on ElasticSearch which serves billions of requests per month. You will be responsible for managing our database servers, optimizing them to scale, help troubleshoot problems (eg we have a lot of deadlocks), and work with the rest of the engineering team on database design and migrations. You must have previous senior level experience in this role. Our hiring process is transparent and fair. You'll know what to expect every step of the way.
No recruiters.
