Overview
Working within Eventbrite's Systems Engineering and Operations team, you will be responsible for our entire datastore environment (MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Memcached), including our production, QA, and development data store infrastructure. You are naturally the kind of team member who enjoys learning and working with others. If you’re the kind of person who sees a problem, develops a fix and engineers an improvement no one’s asked for yet, then we should be talking. This role requires that you work with all functional teams to set up, maintain and support databases and all data and database related tasks. Responsibilities include monitoring of the databases, set up of database clusters, and backup and recovery processes. You will also iteratively define and improve our best practices for data and database activities. Extensive experience with MySQL is required.

We’re not about rigid hierarchies or dedication to a particular IT religion. We’re about making Eventbrite.com the most performant (yeah, I hate the word too but there it is), scaleable and secure event and ticketing site on the planet.
