Must-have

• Operating systems: experience with multiple operating systems and the integration of processing across different platforms will make you more effective in this role.
• UNIX experience is required.

• Shell scripting: the ability to read, understand, modify, and write non-trivial UNIX shell scripts is preferred.
• Relational databases: working knowledge of relational database concepts and how to interact with databases using MS SQL and ORACLE is required.
• However, this is not a DBA position and we do not have a privileged level of access to our database systems.
• Job scheduling software: knowledge of how to create and modify job schedules using job scheduling software is required, as most of the applications we support are run using advanced job scheduling software.
• Data transformation: a lot of the applications we support depend on getting files of varying formats loaded into relational databases for further processing.
