We are looking for a solid DBA to join our team. Our business is about real-estate data. We provide people information on their homes. Over the past years we’ve collected Terabytes of data which require love. Our DBA group is the best in the world, and we’re looking for the cream of the crop to join us. If the following questions look appealing you’ll make a great fit:

• How many IO’s is required on 1000 individual inserts? • How do you batch out an insert of 200 million rows? • How would you provide business analysts with a 200 GB database in real-time? • How do you backup, move and restore a 1 TB dataset across a T3 in quick time?

Working to create and manage a five nine solution, including multiple COLO locations. Blending heterogeneous technologies such as MS SQL, MYSQL, and custom in house DB’s. And MUCH, MUCH, MORE!!!
