Hi Dave,

I wanted to share out the position to a bunch of folks on twitter. Is there any salary transparency you can share for the position? Sa​lary transparency is extremely important as a labor rights and equity issue and would increase your hiring pool.

Best,

Jeremy Munro
Database Administrator
