PostgreSQL DBA

Omni Inclusive

PostgreSQL DBA

PostgreSQL DBA roles and responsibilities:

  • Create the objects in the database, such as triggers, indexes, etc.
  • Monitor the performance of the database and ensure optimum performance.
  • Identify potential issues in the database to solve them early.
  • Maintain backups and perform disaster recovery in case a disaster destroys the database.
  • Monitor security and prevent any unauthorized access to the database.
  • Schedule consistent maintenance on the server.
  • Maintain database schema.
  • Manage database availability.
  • Performance tuning.
  • Give best practice guidance to the development team.
  • Resolve any production data issues.
  • Tablespace management.
  • Role management.
  • Develop automation technologies to accelerate the process of data loading.
  • Develop relational databases.
  • Ensure data integrity.
  • Manage user access and permissions by adding and removing users as required.
  • Maintain the database using different utilities. This includes using like pg_ctl and psql.

Senior position with 5+ years of experience supporting Postgres in an enterprise environment.

What does the ideal candidate background look like (ex: healthcare specific background, etc.)? Healthcare experience is not a must, but a plus. The one key thing I mention is we need the person to be an infrastructure DBA not a developer. Infrastructure DBA's maintain the system, help optimize, ensure backups, DR processes, etc. They do not write any code like a developer.

Of the required skills listed, which would you consider the top 3? Please list your expectations regarding years of experience for each requirement:

  • Supporting Postgres in a large scale environment 10+TB databases.
  • Knowledge of management tools necessary to support and monitor the environment.
  • Knowledge of how Postgres operates on Red Hat Linux to most effectively configure the system for performance.

All should be 5+ years experience.

What experience will set candidates apart from one another? Knowledge of other database technologies would be a huge plus (MSSQL and MySQL).
