All,
Apologies for the nature of this post - I think/hope this will be of
general interest to the PostgreSQL community:
Great Bridge is hiring. Big time.
We're particularly interested in what we're calling "knowledge
engineers" - the people who will work with paying Great Bridge customers
to troubleshoot technical issues with PostgreSQL and other open source
technologies, work on the fix themselves, and get paid to hack on
PostgreSQL and other projects in their "down" time. Here's the position
description from our website:
--
This highly specialized engineer will be the front line of Great
Bridge's professional support services, working to troubleshoot and
resolve customers' technical issues. You will communicate with customers
(email, live chat, phone) to troubleshoot and resolve problems; work
closely with engineering staff on identifying bugs and scheduling fixes
and hack at Great Bridge supported open source projects as available.
Experience desired is 7-10 years of database programming or
administration and deep expertise in at least one major RDBMS
(PostgreSQL, Oracle, DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, Informix). Unix
orientation is critical, as well as experience in 2 - 3 of the following
programming languages: C, C++, Perl, PHP, Python and Tcl/Tk. A
demonstrated ability to work in small teams in a cooperative environment
with strong customer service skills is required.

Great Bridge is headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia - which boasts a mild
climate, moderate cost of living, and easy access to lots of water,
including the Atlantic Ocean, the Chesapeake Bay, and lots of rivers and
inlets. For more info on the region, see www.hamptonroads.com.
Great Bridge currently has 32 full-time employees and is growing fast.
The knowledge engineer positions are located in Norfolk, and offer very
competitive salaries, stock options, and comprehensive benefits. If you
love PostgreSQL and open source, and want to get in on the ground floor
of a leading open source software company, please contact me off-list
and let's talk.
Thanks,
Ned
