Marin Software is experiencing tremendous business growth and is seeking to add an outstanding individual with strong prior MySQL Database experience to our Operations team.

This position is a deeply technical role requiring extensive MySQL experience, including well-rounded knowledge of MySQL internals. As a part of a small, globally distributed DBA team, you will assist in supporting the MySQL database eco-system that powers Marin’s applications, as well as play a critical role in advising software engineers on scalability and performance best practices throughout the development process.

As a SaaS company providing an analytics platform to clients, data is everything at Marin. The individual in this role should have stellar communications skills and be excited by the challenge of building a redundant, high performance database platform that scales to petabytes of data.

Life is complicated enough without over-engineering things – our design philosophy is that simpler is usually better. Anything that needs to be done more than twice should probably be automated, and proper planning and testing mean less stress and fewer errors in times of pressing need. We strive to have an ego-free work environment. Above all, Operations is a close-knit team that depends on each other, and we’re looking for people who have the skills, work ethic and sense of humor to help us grow and stay true to these values.
