A database specialist
Installing, configuring and supporting databases: SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL — slow queries, backups, migration.
The problem
The database is the heart of any CRM or internal system, but people look into it only when everything has already gone down. Slow queries and unchecked backups pile up for years.
Who it is for
- The system is slow, and everyone suspects the database
- You are not sure that the backups work at all
- You need to move the database to a new server or to the cloud
What you get
- A candidate vetted on your DBMS and your task
- It is clear whether this is a one-off job or regular support is needed
- You hold the interview — and the decision is yours too
How the work goes
- 01
You send the requirements — through the form or on WhatsApp
- 02
A short conversation: I clarify the task, the team and the constraints
- 03
I find and personally vet a candidate for your task
- 04
You hold the interview and make the decision
- 05
We agree on the format and terms, and the specialist starts work
What you will need
- Stack and versions: language, frameworks, database, cloud
- The task for the first 2–4 weeks
- Workload: full time, part time or hourly
- Desired start date and expected duration
- Team communication language and time zone
Limits — honestly
- I give the start date and the availability of a specialist after the conversation — I do not promise them in advance
- The cost depends on the format and the task — I give it after the conversation
- The decision about the candidate is always yours
- Access to the production database — only after we agree; where possible we work on a copy first
Example
Reports in the CRM take ten minutes to build. A specialist is needed to find the slow queries, add indexes and set up backups that are actually tested.
Terms
- Format
- Monthly, hourly, hiring into your staff or a dedicated team
- Price
- From 50 USD per hour; hiring into your staff — one month's salary of the employee
