Unwired (Sydney) looking for MySQL DBA
The good people at Unwired are looking for basically a MySQL DBA, although you’d also have the opportunity to do some coding, work on other projects and with additional technologies. You’ll need to have decent experience with MySQL 4 and 5, understanding of replication and backup/recovery methods, query and server performance tuning.
You don’t need to be a guru on all of these topics, but show you have a clue level, work smart, and pick up new stuff quickly. Unwired offers a salary package of around 90K, which seems fairly reasonable.
This looks like an excellent opportunity for a MySQL-ish person in Australia.
If you’re interested, you can contact me (I have some additional info here too) and I can put you in touch with the right people. (my email is my first name @ my last name dot com dot au)
Except for one small showstopper, this looks pretty much like the ideal job for me.
The showstopper, of course, is that I don’t know enough about MySQL. Sigh. And I don’t exactly have a burgeoning collection of machines that I can learn about replication & stuff with.
Oh, yes, & despite the convenience, SWMBO would object to living near Sydney.
However, thanks for noising this about, since if it weren’t for fine people like yourself, I wouldn’t have even known that goals like this were a practical possibility worth aiming for.
