Are you an open source DBA who would like to trade in your pager and utilize your database expertise in a new way? Are you interested in looking at database problems from a more strategic level and moving away from the day to day operational challenges? Do you want to work across multiple teams with a variety of technologies and scenarios? If so, then the Technical Advisor is the position for you!

As a Technical Advisor, you’ll serve as a customer advocate and technical resource for a dedicated group of Percona customers. You’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with some of the brightest minds in the industry across our service delivery teams to ensure that your customers are getting the most out of their relationship with Percona.

As a dedicated point of contact for your customers, you’ll partner with them to stay up-to-date on their technical requirements and plans. You’ll also serve as a bridge to Percona resources, coordinating Consulting projects, communicating updates, handling support issues, and driving awareness for any customer escalations/issues. Within Percona, you’ll work with Customer Success to advocate for your customers and maintain a strong understanding of their technical needs and business structure.
