Our search‑first recruiting model pinpoints MySQL engineers who already excel in the skills that keep modern data estates fast, secure, and cloud‑ready. Here’s what we specifically head‑hunt for:
Cost‑based optimizer, histogram statistics, smart use of EXPLAIN/ANALYZE to squeeze every millisecond out of complex joins.
Designs covering and composite indexes, leverages invisible indexes for safe experimentation, and profiles workload hot‑spots before they become bottlenecks.
Deep knowledge of buffer‑pool sizing, redo/undo logs, row‑level locking, and how each knob impacts throughput under heavy concurrency.
Implements RANGE, HASH, and key‑based partitioning—or external solutions like Vitess—to keep massive tables fast and maintainable.
Architects GTID‑based async/semi‑sync replication, multi‑source topologies, and HA clusters with Group Replication, InnoDB Cluster, Galera, or Aurora MySQL.
Automates mysqldump/mysqlpump, Percona XtraBackup, and point‑in‑time recovery to guarantee near‑zero data loss and minimal downtime.
Enforces TLS everywhere, integrates PAM/LDAP plugins, enables at‑rest encryption, and audits users/queries to meet PCI‑DSS, HIPAA, or SOC‑2 requirements.
Writes efficient procedures, functions, triggers, and scheduled events that push critical business logic closer to the data layer.
Uses Liquibase or Flyway migrations, embeds schema checks into GitHub Actions or Jenkins, and rolls out zero‑downtime database releases.
As a leading remote IT recruitment agency, we care about our clients participating in the hiring process. Why? For us, hiring a qualified candidate is about the skills and abilities and how candidates match your company’s culture. Our experts can design and implement scalable, efficient, and secure relational databases tailored to your business needs.
As soon as you talk with us or fill our form, the first thing we do is analyze your company. We set up a call with you to understand your culture and the type of people you value working with.
We reach out to hundreds of candidates that we think might be a possible match for you. In 2 weeks, you’ll start reviewing people that match your requirements. We focus on providing you 3-5 top candidates instead of giving you an endless list.
Once you select the candidate, we handle all the contracts and payments from day 1. We also take the legal steps required to protect your IP.
