I am assisting an international company headquartered in Raleigh, NC in their search for a Database Engineer.  In a nutshell, they are looking for someone who will be involved with fault-tolerant systems leveraging clustered systems, SAN technologies, replication, database mirroring, as well as development within a farm architecture.

Essential Job Functions:

Practical application of advanced database concepts, including development with highly available, fault-tolerant systems leveraging clustered systems and SAN technologies, replication, database mirroring, as well as development within a federated farm architecture.

Proactive in analyzing existing systems and identifying areas of improvement by offering alternative solutions and designs, using third party tools, etc. to solve the issues at hand.

Strong written and verbal interpersonal skills.

Re: Looking for both an administrator and a developer (2 positions)

I just wanted to post an update; both of these positions are still  
open. We've actually hired a database developer (Jon Erdman), but  
we're looking for at least one more.

Just a quick update to what I originally posted: the company is still  
going strong, despite everything that's happened in the financial  
space in the past year. We're still growing (and hiring).

We're in the process of setting up an office in Austin. Jon and I  
will be working there, and anyone interested in the database  
developer position could certainly work from Austin instead of  
Chicago. We've also become a bit more flexible on location for the  
DBA position; Chicago is definitely preferred, but we'd also consider  
Austin. For both positions we might consider remote work from another  
location for the right candidate.

Jon and I will be at PGWest if anyone wants to talk to us then.
