I am with a silicon valley, bleeding-edge startup requiring some fancy, innovative database techniques in order to address its core requirement - highly frequent, dynamic schema growth driven by end-users, on an as needed basis. Most of the changes are "adds" versus "updates/deletes".

I am looking for a database guru to join as a "Chief Database Architect / CTO" (Job description below). Please forward this to anyone with suitable qualifications.

*****Job Description*****

A silicon-valley, early stage startup seeks a database expert with in-depth knowledge of databases/database theory, and has skills to tackle unique challenges posed by the business problem being addressed by this startup.

If you are ambitious...are desirous of a chance to place your marker in the world...driven to make it happen...and...can withstand the pains of getting there.

Biz Opportunity

A key area of enterprise daily operations is still stuck with first generation technology. It fails to mirror the natural way business is conducted. In many ways, end-users are held hostages by the inflexibility of this first-gen paradigm, unable to change the key business practices to better reflect operational realities. Result is poor performance and productivity.

Technical Opportunity / Challenge

Database poses some unique, interesting challenges for this opportunity, none of which are directly addressed by off-the-shelf commercial / open source databases. Main challenge is support for dynamic, highly frequent database schema extensions without sacrificing query performance.

Job Description

Seeking a database expert to conceptualize, define and develop multi-tiered database architecture (physical, logical, data access layer...etc) that will support the dynamic nature of data.

You must...
- Deep knowledge of databases and database theory

Know relational databases inside-out (Oracle, mysql, postgreSQL)
Familiar with graph theory (as it applies to data trees)
Be comfortable with academic literature and be able to implement concepts therein
Experience implementing database engines
Experience architecting & implementing high-performance, high-availability databases for high demand applications
Experience with LINUX, Object oriented design concepts, c/c++
Experience in dynamic language such as Python
PhD in CS preferred

Ability to present yourself and the technology well to investors is highly desirable.
