Looking for a fun environment in a great team where you get to solve challenging engineering problems?

Bronto Software is a 400-person US based company that is starting a development office in Prague.

The Database Engineering team is responsible for managing these clusters and developing automation around routine tasks such as cluster maintenance, monitoring and troubleshooting. Core duties revolve around providing day-to-day operational support of over 500 data nodes and automating traditional operational tasks.

This position provides a unique opportunity for individuals passionate databases, infrastructure, automation and DevOps. Initial focus will be primarily on supporting Bronto’s database environments, but training and mentoring will be provided to allow you to start developing automation tools to help streamline and simplify the support of our clusters.

Work Life - what do we offer?

• Amazing team, benefits, and a competitive salary - Oracle provides the benefits you would expect to get from an international company (extra holidays, paid sick leave, free meal vouchers and flexi passes, English lessons within working hours, Canadian Medical health program and many others), but that goes without saying.
