Folks,
I'm currently doing some contract work for an excellent investment firm in downtown Seattle. I was an employee with them for 19 years and I can vouch for the company and the people. They are looking for a senior DBA to work with the Database Architect and the Dell managed services team. The position title is Senior Database Technician, but if you read the description, there's a lot more than the title implies.
The Database Architect you'll be interviewing with really knows his stuff and has been doing this for a long time, so please, if you're not comfortable being given a great deal of responsibility over a highly critical environment, don't waste your time applying.
The details can be found at http://www.russell.com. I've included the summary below. If you decide to apply, shoot me a PM.
