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 an 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).
