Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Oracle Database Administrator / Developer to own the reliability, security, performance, schema governance, and database-development responsibilities of the Oracle tier supporting the modernized application.

  • Enforce least privilege, access controls, auditing, encryption-related database configurations where applicable, and other required security controls.
  • Troubleshoot database performance, locking/blocking, transaction, data-integrity, and connectivity issues in collaboration with application teams.
  • Support QA with test-data needs, defect investigations, data validation, and performance-test diagnostics while protecting sensitive data.
  • Maintain database documentation, schema/data dictionaries, operational procedures, change records, and knowledge-transfer materials.
  • Support monitoring/alerting and provide database-level evidence needed for release readiness and operational support.
Core Technical Skills
  • Oracle Database administration, PL/SQL development, SQL tuning, execution plans, indexing, and schema design.
  • Backup/recovery, high availability, capacity planning, security/access control, auditing, and operational troubleshooting.
  • Data migration, controlled schema deployment, Git/change management, and application-integration support.
  • Ability to collaborate with architects, middleware developers, QA automation engineers, security, and operations teams.
