Description

We have a popular self-hosted CMS that allows users to model content in a very open-ended manner. It uses MySQL 5.1+ to store the content, with InnoDB powering most tables.

We are finding that the application is not performing as well as we'd like it to when managing large volumes of content (e.g. 500K+ users), and could use some help analyzing the DB architecture to see if there are opportunities for better performance.

Skills & Requirements:

Candidates must be proficient in the following areas:
  • MySQL and InnoDB
  • Query analysis and optimization
  • Index tuning
  • Schema analysis


  • Additionally, candidates must have strong communication skills and feel comfortable wrapping their heads around the functional needs of a complex web application.
