We need a specialist to review and optimize our database layer. We have not had a dedicated DBA before, and our queries were written by engineers who are strong developers but not necessarily SQL specialists. We know there are performance issues. We need someone to come in, assess the scale of the problem, and fix what they find.

You will be joining a lean, high-performing engineering team building and evolving a Cloud-based media and streaming orchestration platform for a growing digital supply chain company that serves global media clients.
