Position: Yugabyte Engineer

Location: Phoenix, AZ

Duration: CTH

his 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 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. The candidate will also bring knowledge of Yugabyte internals such as sharding and replication settings, and performance tuning.
