What we do
Pythian is a global industry-leader in remote database administration services and consulting for Oracle, Oracle Applications, MySQL and SQL Server. Companies trust us to keep their database infrastructure running efficiently while strategically aligning IT with business goals. Pythian's unparalleled database and system administration skills, mature methodologies, best practices and tools enable clients to do more with fewer resources. We offer flexible contracting, fractional resourcing, 24/7 service and global reach.
Why we do
The world has changed. Rapid economic changes brought about by global economic forces require nimble businesses able to rapidly respond to increases or decreases in demand. Service provider models must also adapt to the needs and demands of today's customer.
Pythian has responded to this demand by defining a new, innovative and flexible engagement model for its customers.
Pythian provides remote DBAs in a utility consumption format. Your company can gain an incredible advantage by determining, on a monthly basis, how much Pythian expertise you require and where to apply that expertise. As the need and demand for DBA expertise constantly changes, your company is able to optimally and cost-effectively consume only those resources that are valuable to you, as they are required.
Gartner Group, a leading IT research firm, now advises clients to reduce fixed-scope, long-term outsourcing contracts in favor of shorter, more adaptive models. The new economic reality demands agility, adaptability and flexibility. Pythian embraced these values more than five years ago and, as a result, has built a large, growing and loyal customer base.
How we do
At Pythian we’re looking for people who love systems, love data, and love to get their hands dirty. Every one of our DBAs has his or her own ‘sandbox’ to test out new technologies, experiment and innovate.
We’re looking for people who manage time like they have the power to stop it. Who shift gears effortlessly from routine proactive monitoring to the pressures of on-call ‘firefighting’, working in real-live production environments. Who have the diplomacy and communication skills to interact professionally with some of the fastest-moving, most exacting clients in the world.
If you live and breathe technology, we want you. If you couldn’t stop learning if you tried—or sharing what you know through forums, blogs, debates—we want you.
