• Integrate modern services with Oracle databases, existing application components, and internal or third-party REST APIs.
• Support, enhance, troubleshoot, and maintain existing Oracle Forms and Oracle Reports applications using version 14c and above.
• Create, modify, and maintain Oracle database objects, including stored procedures, packages, functions, triggers, views, and queries.
• Analyze and resolve application, integration, data, and production-support issues in a timely manner.
• Debug issues across service, database, integration, and user-interface layers to identify root causes and implement durable fixes.
• Write and optimize SQL queries and contribute to application and database performance tuning.
• Develop basic Unix/Linux scripts to support automation, monitoring, deployments, and application operations.
• Work across multiple projects and priorities while communicating effectively with technical and business stakeholders.
• Contribute to technical design, code reviews, automated testing, documentation, and deployment practices.
• Learn and document existing rental-platform business processes and legacy application behavior to support safe modernization decisions.
• Apply secure coding, data integrity, observability, and operational-support practices across legacy and modern solutions.
• Perform additional duties as assigned.

What you'll bring

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field; equivalent practical experience may be considered.
• 8+ years of experience in software engineering, application development, application programming/analysis, or a similar role.
• Professional experience developing backend applications or services with Java; Spring Boot experience is preferred.
• Experience designing, developing, or consuming REST APIs and working with service integrations.
• Understanding of microservices principles, object-oriented design, common design patterns, and software development lifecycle practices.
• Experience with source control, automated testing, code reviews, and CI/CD practices.
• Experience with relational databases; Oracle database experience is a plus.
• Experience reading, understanding, and troubleshooting SQL or database-driven application logic.
• Oracle SQL and PL/SQL experience is a plus, but not required.
• Prior Oracle Forms and/or Oracle Reports experience is helpful but not required. Candidates must be willing to learn and support the existing Oracle Forms and Reports platform.
• Experience troubleshooting applications across service, database, integration, and user-interface layers.
• Familiarity with Unix/Linux command-line tools and scripting for support or automation.
• Understanding of relational concepts including indexes, data types, entity-relationship diagrams, normalization, cardinality, transactions, and data integrity.
• Experience with API design, service integration, messaging, observability, and backend testing is preferred.
• Experience with retail, rental, inventory, order processing, or purchase-order systems is helpful but not required.
• Curiosity and openness to adopting modern engineering practices, including responsible use of AI-assisted development tools.
• Strong analytical, communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
