At Livesport, we've been developing a results service for sports fans for years, which is used by up to 110 million people worldwide every month. We build the entire solution ourselves and host it in our own data centers. One of the most crucial components is our database of sports results built on My SQL. However, various parts of our platform use a range of other tools and types of databases that our team also manages.
Our primary focus is on supporting development teams within Livesport. We ensure the smooth operation of the platform, take care of DB servers, address service performance issues, and resolve technical problems. Besides support, it’s essential for us that data reaches end users accurately and as quickly as possible.
If you have a passion for working with databases in any role and are drawn to an environment where you'll engage with them extensively, we want to hear from you.
We are looking for a senior professional for a full-time position (HPP) with the possibility of remote work.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

• We manage relational and document databases, along with various caching and message queue technologies. Our primary focus is on My SQL, but you will also work with Mongo DB, Elasticsearch, Redis, Kafka, and possibly Postgre SQL or Influx DB. Recently, we have incorporated Key DB as a new caching technology.
• Our responsibilities include ensuring high availability and automating database services. This encompasses database backups, monitoring, disaster recovery (DR), and many other database-related tasks.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

• You possess advanced experience in a Linux environment.
• You are knowledgeable about the core concepts of scripting.
• You have a solid understanding of the basics of relational databases.
• You have an ongoing eagerness to acquire new skills, given the numerous opportunities available here.

WE WILL BE EXTRA HAPPY IF YOU KNOW

• Kubernetes: We are launching a project aimed at migrating databases to this platform.
• Puppet: We are looking forward to offering you our support.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT IN RETURN?

• Opportunity to join a project that has no competition in terms of traffic in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
• You'll have enough time for personal growth and education with unlimited opportunities, including training and conferences around the world—not just as an attendee.

• First-class equipment, from ergonomic workplaces with height-adjustable desks to top-notch hardware. You have the option to choose between Mac and Dell. A phone of your choice with an unlimited data plan is also included.
