It’s time to grow our consulting team!
We’re looking for a SQL Server Triage Specialist. This is a new position with a whole new job description: the position is as much about communicating with clients as it is about SQL Server.
I’d tell you about the job, but I’m really excited for you to read about it on our careers page.
There’s a link at the bottom of that page to apply. Head on over and get started!
Update: applications are now closed. Thanks everybody! We’ll make an announcement soon.

Hmmm – How remote is the remote position? I’m in a different continent and time zone – does that matter? I’d love to join the team – I’ll even get a tattoo!
Seriously though, good luck to all the applicants… we can’t wait to see the new member of Team Ozar!
Damn, I’d love to work for you guys, can I not remote in from the UK? I don’t have a tattoo as nowadays you’re more unique if you don’t have one. I’ll settle for the Senior DBA class in 2016. ;o)
Scott – as long as you’re legally authorized to work for us in the US, you’re eligible. Are you?
Don’t they do those fancy green card lotteries anymore?
For some reason, people who don’t win the lottery don’t seem to want to work anymore.
OH, you meant THAT lottery.
Yeah, I said green card, not green back 😉
Cool, maybe I’ll apply. ;o)
So, what you’re really saying is that you want someone with a genetic defect…
A programmer with a personality. *g*
Would be fun but having way too much fun now drinking from the fire hose currently.
And, for those who’ve never worked remotely (currently 11 years and counting) it is pretty neat -but- you do need a bit of discipline, passion large enough to draw you to your desk when there are other matters.
And then there’s the flip side to the above – stay focused and in your down time keep after your skill set. So, look out for squirrels!. If you’re like me with ADD then exercise and get some drugs (only as needed naturally *s*) to help stay focused.
And, for the married fellows there is this issue of getting your wifey to start talking -after- she rounds the corner of your office door. Not married? Get a dog – great companions except when they poop on the floor.
And, as ANdy said – Seriously.. Folks if you really do love what you do I can’t think of another group (on the face of it (I’m sure they have their Database Dungeon as well *g*) than these folks.
Oh, right, one last thing to remember – EVERYONE is your client and your job is to serve them with humility and professionalism.
Consider me submitted!
Do you take into consideration previous applicants? or should we reapply?
In the past, we’ve been hiring for much more senior positions. This position is for junior DBAs. If you applied previously, you might have been wildly underqualified for the previous positions – in which case, this one might be perfect! However, if you felt like you were a good fit for the previous positions, you’re probably not a good fit for this one. (I’m writing this without any idea of who you are – I’m purposely not looking at your profile or anything.)
Yeah, I would fall in the Junior DBA category and underqualified for the Senior positions, I applied for experience. Just checking to see if you keep previous applicants on file and would take them into consideration. Thanks
Wow….this is so tempting, but I love where I work now. You folks are awesome though.
any chance for a Aussie guy, am in different time and space?
Mike – great question. What’s the job description say in the way of requirements, and do you meet those? If so, you’re eligible!
This position really sounds exciting! Here’s to hoping I find a golden ticket in my chocolate bar (or email) within the next month. 😉
Triage sounds as a medical joke, but it is a remote position why you need to authorization for work in US ? And.. yes would be nice to apply.
Ricardo – it’s much easier for us as a small company if our employees are legally authorized to work for us here. Thanks!
Thank you Brent, unfortunately i don´t have that authorization =) Maybe someday with another position =) , Oh you maybe be small but you are very cool company
Applied! I would love the opportunity to work with the team!
**EXCITED** Beyond belief. This is such an amazing opportunity. Good luck to all. 🙂
Wow this looks like a GREAT opportunity. Application submitted!
I applied as well. Hope you are considering Senior DBAs, as I have been doing this quite a while!
This would be a GREAT opportunity for 2011 me. Can I time port myself back a few years to when I first found out about PASS and SQL Saturdays?
I am in Chicago and have about 3 years of experience working as a SQL Server DBA. I am also a US citizen.
Syed – great! Unfortunately you’ve been disqualified for an inability to read the instructions in the post. Better luck next time!
