The ideal candidate will also optimize the architecture for on-premises or cloud-native Linux environments.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Architecture Design: Design highly available, scalable Oracle RAC on Linux architectures that replicate or improve upon existing Exadata/ExaCC performance and resilience levels.
  • Migration Strategy: Formulate and execute comprehensive out-of-place and in-place migration strategies using Oracle tools (e.g., Zero Downtime Migration - ZDM, Data Guard, and RMAN).
  • Performance Tuning: Optimize database tiering, storage mapping (ASM), and Linux OS-level parameters for optimal Cache Fusion and interconnect performance.
  • Cross-Functional Leadership: Collaborate with network, systems, and storage teams to build the foundational Linux and Grid Infrastructure.
  • Documentation & Governance: Establish post-migration support procedures, disaster recovery (MAA) frameworks, and best practice runbooks.

Key Skills:

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent.
  • Experience: 10+ years of core Oracle DBA experience, with at least 5 years specifically focused on Exadata and/or ExaCC architecture and migration.
  • OS Expertise: Deep, hands-on expertise in administering Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Oracle RAC on Linux (Oracle Linux, RHEL, or SLES).
  • Migration Tooling: Proven track record of architecting large-scale database migrations; proficiency with Oracle ZDM, Transportable Tablespaces, and Data Guard.
  • High Availability: Deep understanding of Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture (MAA) reference tiers and best practices.
