Senior Database Architect / Administrator | Austin, TX | ONSITE | OwnLocal (YC W2010)

http://www.ownlocal.com/about/jobs/senior-database-administr...

OwnLocal provides online marketing tools to small businesses through our partners. We work with some of the biggest media companies in the world to provide our tools to their customers.

TL;DR: MySQL, PostreSQL, ElasticSearch, AWS RDS, schema design, DB optimization. We treat employees like humans and pay market rates. Think of this as the DBA equivalent of a full stack web developer. Full-time, local only.

Our web apps are Ruby on Rails on MySQL with a little Postgres. We've built a big API on ElasticSearch which serves billions of requests per month. You will be responsible for managing our database servers, optimizing them to scale, help troubleshoot problems (eg we have a lot of deadlocks), and work with the rest of the engineering team on database design and migrations. You must have previous senior level experience in this role. Our hiring process is transparent and fair. You'll know what to expect every step of the way.

No recruiters.

I'm looking for a brilliant Java engineer with AWS experience to take on a very senior technical role in my team. We're a super versatile, cross-functional group of engineers who work on our integrations with third parties.

Capital One is a pretty awesome place to work; nice balance of "grown up" company and fun startup. Good canteen, fun spaces, relaxed work environment. Salary and benefits are excellent.

As a senior/lead engineer at our Nottingham office you will work within an agile feature team on a wide array of intriguing problems; such as API authentication, on-boarding external developers and auto-scaling infrastructure. Our teams have a high degree of empowerment to own their products from design to production. We are just beginning a journey into the cloud and want you to help take us there.

This isn't a line management role; we call you an "individual contributor" who is at the top of their game and has a passion to focus on engineering over management. At Capital One we cherish engineers like you and have excellent career development opportunities that don't require you to take on a team.

Interview Process; we've worked on this for a while and it's slick. Simple online coding challenge, phone-screen, 1-day interview & we commit to being able to make a decision without getting you back for second-rounds

Find out more, contact me directly thomas (dot) morton (at) capitalone (dot) com

We're recruiting heavily across Nottingham & London, mostly for senior devs, feel free to check out the other roles: http://rolp.co/ZufH9
