Key Responsibilities

  • Administer, configure, and support Oracle Database environments (11g, 12c, 19c or similar).

  • Manage and maintain Oracle RAC and Grid Infrastructure in clustered, multi-node environments.

  • Perform advanced database performance tuning (SQL tuning, execution plans, AWR/ASH reports, wait event analysis, indexing strategies).

  • Troubleshoot RAC, cluster interconnect, storage, and OS-level performance issues.

  • Perform database installations, migrations, cloning, and environment refreshes.

  • Implement and maintain database security, user management, and auditing.

  • Support production systems with on-call responsibilities and root cause analysis.

  • Develop automation scripts (Shell/Bash/Korn) to streamline DBA operations.

  • Collaborate with infrastructure, application, and system teams to optimize database architecture.

Required Qualifications

  • 10+ years of hands-on Oracle DBA experience in enterprise environments.

  • Strong experience with Oracle RAC, ASM, and Grid Infrastructure.

  • Advanced performance tuning and troubleshooting skills.

  • Proven experience managing Oracle on AIX or Solaris platforms.

  • Experience supporting legacy Oracle database systems.

  • Strong knowledge of backup, recovery, and disaster recovery planning.

  • Proficiency in SQL, PL/SQL, and Unix shell scripting.

  • Experience with patching, upgrades, and database migrations.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Oracle Data Guard and GoldenGate.

  • Familiarity with storage systems and SAN environments.

  • Experience with Exadata or engineered systems.

  • Exposure to cloud-based Oracle deployments (OCI, AWS, or Azure).

This role is ideal for a senior-level Oracle DBA who thrives in complex, high-availability environments and has deep expertise in RAC, clustering, and performance optimization across AIX or Solaris systems.
