- Support data migration projects involving IBM Informix databases
- Implement and maintain database security measures, including user access controls, encryption, and auditing

- Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and their integration with Informix databases
- Experience with scripting languages like Python, Perl, or shell scripting

We don't expect candidates to be familiar with all relevant skills but do expect them to have comprehensive experience in the domains in question and eagerness to learn. If you geek out on data infrastructures and want to work on cutting-edge projects, we'd love to hear from you! Pay for this position will be commensurate with experience.
