Job DescriptionVersion 1 has an exciting role for a dynamic and enthusiastic AWS cloud and infrastructure consultant who enjoys working with customers and internal staff alike. You will be leader and superb communicator who can deliver excellence in both project and support work. Based within our Cloud consulting team, this role is responsible for providing Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Linux / Unix systems consulting services, including technical presales, scoping, architecture, design, build and deployment of engineering solutions. The role is customer facing, and will entail liaising with customers to enhance current systems, plan and deliver projects, and implement new solutions. This particular role will entail development of innovative solutions in cloud databases.

We are looking for self-starters who can take code artefacts in existing relational procedural code – e.g. T-SQL, PL/SQL and migrate to databases such as PostgreSQL without losing any functionality. You must also be able to, where necessary, migrate data elements as well. A reasonable grounding in other development environments, e.g. Java, Python etc. is extremely useful but the primary task here will be in helping to lead and build the space in the company in open source database technologies. Used to Agile and DevOps, and a fast pace, you will thrive in a busy environment.
