HACK13<p>One more job posting, our Database team is pretty desperate for some help as they recently got halved by two folks moving onto different careers... I know they are looking for 2 intermediate to senior DBAs. The team supports MSSQL, PostgeSQL, Oracle, and MySQL databases. If you are knowledgeable and willing to help configure, build, review, and focus on DB related work, they are looking and haven't been finding many good candidates so far. That said it is fully remote (as long as you don't live within 50 miles of my small town).
