We’re hiring a Staff Database Administrator to support and protect the sum of all human knowledge , shared by Wikipedia and its sister projects.Much of that knowledge is stored using MariaDB, and therefore we’re looking for someone with a strong expertise in designing, operating and optimizing relational (SQL) database infrastructure at large scale (MariaDB and other MySQL derivatives in particular), to support and scale the technology behind Wikipedia and its sister projects—some of the most visited websites on the internet.
Our work powers the daily experiences of hundreds of millions of users. You'll have the opportunity to learn, take on new challenges, and make a tangible difference on a global scale. As a Staff DBA you will be responsible for the health of our database systems and the products and services that depend on them - including their availability and performance. You’ll join the SRE Data Persistence team, a small, high-impact team responsible for Wikimedia’s production storage & retrieval systems and infrastructure, part of a larger sub-department of Site Reliability Engineers in Product & Technology.
