DBA position at CashNetUSA

I'll save everyone the standard HR-speak; descriptions are my opinion
and mine alone. :)

We're looking for an administrator. There would be some development
in the form of admin tools, etc.

CashNet is a company that's going through the start-up to "larger
corporate entity" phase. The environment is very dynamic and laid
back. We're working on improving our tools and processes to make our
life easier, and reduce the need for late nights, etc. We're not
perfect, but it's definitely not an environment where you'll find
everyone burning the midnight oil (except for those who prefer to
come in late and stay late).
