Benefits of working at Pythian
- If you are the right candidate, you will find it exhilarating to work with an elite team of DBAs for an elite group of customers: you can learn more here in a year than in any in-house DBA job no matter how long you stay.
- The technical challenge and joy of working with and gaining valuable experience on every mainstream platform that runs an enterprise database, including AIX, HP/UX, Solaris, Linux, Tru64, Windows, etc.
- Platform experience aside, we support just about every enterprise database technology and feature, including RAC, advanced queuing, advanced replication, every flavour of dataguard, RMAN, streams, SQL Server clustering, database scaleout and sharding with MySQL, etc. etc.
- We support customers across multiple industries including health care, manufacturing, media, dot-com, education, retail, services, and many more. This leads to wonderful business subject matter variety and interest.
- As a company, we value hard work, not long work and this is reflected in all of our work-related processes including our resourcing model. Specifically, our resourcing model allows us to reliably deliver work weeks that enable excellent work and personal life balance.
- Finally, this is a company that will allow you to research and write articles, presentations and blog posts on company time, and pay for you to present your research at just about any user conference worldwide where it gets accepted. This type of community outreach and community service forms the lion's share of our marketing budget.
