HP Vertica is seeking a Senior Technical Consultant to join our team.
As a Technical Consultant, you know databases. Not just how to use databases but how they work. You can describe the inner workings of one or more industry leading RDBMS technologies (Oracle, MySQL, TD, etc) in depth. You know how optimization relates to execution, can spot inefficient SQL in your sleep, and have done extensive tuning. You know how a DBA’s mind works and are not afraid to go toe-to-toe with application developers.
You are also a Linux aficionado. You prefer the control of a command line interface to the limitations of X-Windows. You love to create shell scripts that scale your own productivity… many of which use awk, sed and find commands. You probably run Linux at home and have set up more than a couple RAID arrays. You understand the pressures on System Admins and wonder how you ever got along before config management tools like Puppet and Chef.
You’re not just a system administrator, or a DBA, or a developer - you’re a renaissance technologist! Not to mention your solid consulting background and impeccable written and verbal communication skills. If this is you, you may have exactly the skills and passion we’re looking for.
Update your info & APPLY Now! We need the technical equivalent of James / Jill Bond who is: - tech savvy, self-starter, schmoozer who roles with the punches and has the ability to solve high priority issues without the use of explosives.

That's too bad! Most of my friends (and myself) do not have CS degrees as they got into IT later in lifeA Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science is required; a Master’s degree is preferred.
