Senior PostgreSQL Database Engineer - EMEA (Remote)

Percona Support is a global team of elite engineers who love getting to the bottom of weird and interesting database behavior.

We understand our customers’ business needs and the nuances of their technical environments.

This allows us to help our customers see the big picture and identify opportunities to improve their overall database infrastructures.

What you’ll do… You will team with some of the most well-known database experts in the industry who are even better teammates, friends, and mentors.

You’ll have the opportunity to hone your database skills and take your knowledge to the next level by facing the most complex problems within our group.

This is a senior role, requiring deep expertise and skill across several complex and challenging technical areas.

You must be self-directed, with a high degree of attention to detail and critical thinking.

You will have the opportunity to work with very large hardware on some of the most massive database deployments in the world, helping global Fortune 50 companies whose businesses depend on their databases.

Your main responsibility will be helping our customers’ DBA teams when they need expert assistance with high complexity problems.

You’ll gather relevant data and investigate issues to provide a detailed analysis of your findings in a digestible format by email, instant message, or voice.

For more serious and production-impacting issues, you will perform screen-sharing sessions to help them quickly navigate and resolve issues.

When you’re not solving customer problems, you’ll be authoring new blog posts on interesting topics for our open-source community to digest, answering questions on our forum, creating new articles in our customer-facing knowledge base, and more.

This is a remote role, so you can be located anywhere in the world provided you can work the targeted hours.

All you need is a decent, stable internet connection.
