Job postings

Our job posting platform is a public, global mailing list. Once you send an email to the email address pgsql-jobs@postgresql.org, and a moderator approves it, your email will be sent to all subscribers of the mailing list. You should then start receiving private email replies to your job posting. (Replies should not go to the group email address.)

Additionally, a copy of your email is archived in the web at http://www.postgresql.org/list/pgsql-jobs. You can also use that link to view previous job postings to get ideas.

When crafting your email, clearly state the employment location in the subject line because this is a global email list. If remote work is possible, mention that in your email subject too. Attachments such as Microsoft Word or PDF files documents are discouraged; it's better to include the details of the job position in the email itself. You can, of course, include links to external sites in your email.

This is how your email should look:
