Goldengate Jobs (NOW HIRING)

We are building and operating an enterprise-scale, high-volume transactional database platform that supports end-to-end transaction processing. This role designs, builds, and maintains highly available, performant, and secure data stores and data movement patterns across MySQL and Oracle platforms, partnering closely with application engineering, SRE/operations, and security teams.

You will be accountable for database architecture and implementation decisions that directly impact transaction integrity, latency, resiliency, and operational excellence. Level (Senior vs. Lead) is determined by depth of scope and leadership impact.

• Design and evolve an enterprise transactional data model for high-volume OLTP systems, including schemas, constraints, indexing strategies, partitioning, and retention/archival patterns.
• Define database standards for reliability, scalability, performance, and resiliency across MySQL and Oracle.

• Implement and operate high availability and disaster recovery patterns; validate operational readiness (failover/failback, replication health, recovery objectives).
• Drive performance engineering: query tuning, index strategy, execution plan analysis, contention/locking analysis, and workload management.
• Implement automation for database operations (provisioning support, patch readiness support, backup validation, health checks, and runbook-driven execution).

• Design and support replication/data movement strategies for resiliency and/or cross-site requirements (preferred Oracle skills include GoldenGate and Data Guard).

• Partner with security teams to enforce encryption-in-transit/at-rest, least privilege, auditing, secrets management integration, and vulnerability remediation for database platforms.

• Work closely with application teams on schema evolution, release coordination, and safe migration approaches (including MySQL ↔ Oracle considerations).
• Produce durable documentation: architecture diagrams, decision records, runbooks, and operational validation checklists.
