Full-time Postgres DBA opening

Hello everybody. My company, Mozy, is looking to hire another postgres DBA immediately. The work is fairly typical DBA stuff, but unlike many internet companies, our problems focus on how to stay ahead of the growth curve, not how to start growing. The pay is competitive, and we'd be willing to help you relocate to work in our offices in Seattle (WA), Pleasant Grove (UT), Hopkinton (MA), Montreal, Cork, Bangalore, or Shangai.... or, if you're a proven superstar, then working from the comfort of your home isn't out of the question.

If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them. Or just send me your resume. (Or you can apply via mozy.com, but sending me your resume directly will be faster.) Here's the official blurb, complete with corporate kool-aid:
