Leader Technologies in Albuquerque, NM is currently looking for a full
time data services administrator. You will be responsible for one or more data
exchange systems between Leader Technologies and our customers, including
coordinating scheduling and updates, performing and validating updates to
the system, and ongoing monitoring and maintenance. In addition, you will
assist customers with ad hoc reporting and data access requests. This is
primarily a technical position, not a managerial or administrative
position.
You must have excellent SQL query skills and an understanding of MySQL
query performance and optimization. You should be comfortable working at
the Linux command-line, and you must be able to perform diagnostics and
troubleshooting on existing systems and queries.
We are looking for an individual with an eye towards excellence,
accuracy and detail with the ability to work closely with other
employees and customer representatives to deliver top-notch results.
Leader Technologies strives to provide the highest quality product
available to our customers and we want an individual who will accept
nothing less than perfection.
If you were doing this job today, this might be a fairly typical day: When you
arrive in the morning, you review all the logs from processes that have run during
the night to make sure everything looks normal. You find a few minor discrepancies
that require further investigation, so you log in to our Linux systems via ssh and
use the MySQL command-line client to inspect the data more carefully. You might
even need to look through some Python or Perl code to see how that problem data is
being processed. After figuring out what happened and getting a developer to help
you adjust the scripts to fix the problem, you let the customer know what you saw
and how it was resolved. Later in the morning, you have a phone meeting with the
same customer to review email assets they recently delivered and make sure
everything is still on schedule. After the meeting, you spend a couple of hours
writing SQL for our in-house reporting system to make updated reports for a
different customer who has added some new fields to their data set. You email a
link to the customer and make yourself a todo for tomorrow to tweak the reports
based on their feedback. You do a quick data pull to answer a question from yet
another customer, and you send them the result in a CSV or Excel file. Then you
spend the rest of the afternoon investigating a performance problem in a system
that used to run fine back when the tables had a lot less data. Using MySQL's
built-in query analysis tools, you figure out that somebody used a bad join in
their query, so you update the SQL and make yourself a note to check the results
tomorrow after the update process completes during the night.
This is a great opportunity for a self-motivated individual with
strong SQL skills who enjoys working directly with customers. Flexible working conditions, plenty of
opportunity for development.
