The Percona Support Team
Percona Support is a global, elite team of engineers who love getting to the bottom of weird and interesting database behaviour. We understand our customers business needs and the nuances of their technical environments. This allows us to help our customers see the big picture and identify opportunities to improve their overall database infrastructures.
What youll be doing
Percona is joining forces with the Linux Foundation to support the Valkey project and offer a true open-source Redis alternative. If you are passionate about all things Redis/Valkey, love helping customers succeed, and want to play a critical role in evolving technical support for open-source databases, Percona’s Redis/Valkey Support Engineer position was made for you.
Youll be teaming up with some of the most well-known open-source database experts in the industry who are even better teammates, friends and mentors. Whilst evolving Perconas in-house knowledge of Valkey, youll have the opportunity to develop your own skills and become more powerful than you can possibly imagine with databases.
This is not a boring, entry-level role where youll just be triaging the boring and monotonous.
Your main responsibility will be helping our customers DBA teams when they need expert assistance. Youll do that by gathering relevant data and investigating issues to provide a detailed analysis of your findings in a digestible format by email, instant message or voice. For more serious and production-impacting issues, youll perform screen-sharing sessions to help them quickly navigate and resolve issues.
When youre not fixing things, youll be authoring new blog posts on interesting topics for our open-source community to digest, answering questions on our forum, creating new articles in our customer-facing knowledge base for more frequently seen issues, and hosting webinars amongst other things.
This is a remote role, so you can be located anywhere in the world. All you need is a decent, stable internet connection.
Youll stand out if you have the following:
- Good knowledge of Redis/Valkey and related technologies on Linux, including:
- All aspects of configuration and best practices
- Performance tuningBackup solutions
- Maintaining clusters and replication environments
- Detailed understanding of monitoring requirements
- Demonstrable experience in administering Linux-based systems
- Knowledge about environments such as VMWare, Docker and/or Kubernetes
- Knowledge about cloud providers (AWS, Google Cloud, Digital Ocean and/or Azure)
- Ability to troubleshoot methodically, identifying and applying fixes for known errors, and when necessary, capacity to think outside of the box to resolve complex issues
- Enthused to expand your skill set with new technologies as the industry continues to evolve
- Availability to travel for the occasional team meetings, conferences and customer visits
- Experience working with customers in English
What Will Make you Stand Out:
- DBA experience with MySQL, MongoDB, or PostgreSQL
- Percona Monitoring Plugins and other monitoring tools
- Percona Toolkit suite
- Writing Golang is preferred
- Understanding of TCP/IP networking
